1000 pulse per rev limit?

Hey all. I have dropped it to 800 so it works but I would like a higher resolution. I'm just wondering how I can get 1600 plus per rev in linux cnc so I can have .0001" per step

Thanks in advance. 

It always depends on the speed (rpm) and the hardware you are using. You should describe what you have in more detail.

When you start talking tenths, you have to start looking an thermal expansion.

In the pncconf it just wont let me enter more then 1000 just running standard 200 pulse per rev closed loop steppers. My issue isnt really a hardware thing though I just cant enter more the 1000.

Yes this is true dont know what that has to do with hitting a software limmit? This isnt a router or plasma table being able to move tenths is going to be important.

If you are talking about pncconfs scale calculator, the steps per turn number
is intended to be the number of full steps per turn. For almost all step motors,
this number will be 200. So for a standard drive you would leave the "Motor steps
per revolution" at 200 and then say if your drives are set for 16 microsteps per full step,
you would set the "Microstep Multiplication Factor" to 16. This would result in 3200
microsteps per revolution.

Ah gotcha Dont know why it didnt cross my mind there may be a multiplication factor somwhere!

Not obvious because some step drives list the microstep ratio:
2,4,5,8,16,32 etc but some list steps per revolution, 400,800,1000,1600 etc
