You have (on the X axis)

STEP_SCALE = 1000000.0

Do you really have 1 nm per step?

Step scale is in units of steps/mm
(or steps/inch with imperial units)

This is indeed not correct.
- I have a stepper motor of 200 steps/rev
- The stepper driver is set to 2000 steps/rev
- Leadscrew metric pitch: 2mm/rev
So if I calculate correctly the motor gives 1000 steps/mm
I changed STEP_SCALE = 1000000.0 to STEP_SCALE = 1000.0

If I now open LinuxCNC and test the X-axis motor, the motor does not work correctly. I have set the distance to 1mm. So normally the motor should turn half a revolution everytime I click.
When I click I feel the motor do something. I think the motor is turning a very small amount. But this is hardly visible to the eye.

Hopefully you understand me and know what I can do about it?

The errors that I normally got in LinuxCNC are now gone.

Its likely the step times are too short for your drives

Try setting:

STEPLEN=5000
STEPSPACE=5000
DIRSETUP=10000
DIRHOLD=10000

Thanks for helping.
I just adjusted these values but nothing changed.

Could it be due to my operating software? Maybe changing to LinuxCNC 2.8 will help?
