Is anyone using Stepperonline CL86T v4.1 drivers? If so, would you share the value you used for Step On-Time, Step Space, Direction Hold and Direction Setup? I've searched the internet and this forum and cannot locate any information. I contacted Stepperonline and they referred me back to the electrical specification in their manual. However, I cannot cross-reference any of the information to match the stepper information needed in the pncconf stepper information fields.

Page 8 of the manual has the timing diagrams.

Thanks... I never connected that diagram to the information I needed. Now I'll see if I can figure out how to read the information. Thanks again!

As a general rule start with 5000 for both STEP values and 20000 for DIR values.
After you get this working properly and only if you need more speed, set the STEP values to 4000 or 3000 and test again for a day or two, see if you get missed steps or wrong sized parts.
DIR value can be left at 20000 as it does not change much having it shorter.
