i've found the exact same waveshare dongle. and it behaves as expected in debian12, without suggesting any weird software install

Step size of 5 and 10 is still huge on a metric machine.  Very easy to crash into things.. step mode often used for position and tool touch so should be  

In fact even 2mm on my machine can get you into trouble 

​​​​​​For travelling large distance continuous mode is better. / Safer

I now have a version that has fived lead mode. Improved speed of cont mode and I'm working on implementing step options of .01  05  0.1 0.5. And 1mm 

Also increased the step size for feed override. Means I can sweep from 0 to 100 % override much faster. 

I'm getting closer to the pendant I really need. 

 

there seems to be some pr in the past around the lead code of 0x1c vs 0x9b

step size of 5 and 10 might be huge on an imperial setup but they are nice sizes on a metric setup (5" vs 5mm)
so changes to this should may want to be unit aware (either machine INI or G20/G21) if its not already
