      Re: Different microstepping settings

      Hi - I am setting up my Maestro and it shows a M350 line like this inthe config;

      M350 E8:8:8:8 ;micro-stepping

      Not sure if I should assume that is 1/8 micro stepping or ? Not how most people show the settings.

      I am trying to set my steps for a build using lead screws for Z with 2mm lead / 2mm pitch. My stepper motor is a 1.8 degree / 200 steps per rev.

      I would like to set my microstepping to 1/32. Based on teh above what would that look like.

      Then I assume my Z steps would be 3200

      Jay

        https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M350_Set_microstepping_mode

        The parameter is explained in detail there.
        Modes (nn)

        1 = full step
        2 = half step
        4 = quarter step
        8 = 1/8 step
        16 = 1/16 step
        32 = 1/32 step
        64 = 1/64 step
        128 = 1/128 step
        256 = 1/256 step

        There is a calculator for the steps per mm here

          if you calculate your steps/mm at 1/16 and use that in your M92 line and make sure it is before any M350 line in your config files then any change to the Microstep rates in the M350 will automatically re-calculate the steps/mm for you.
