Thread: Motor tuning and switches

Hi, I'm bench testing my motors - they are all wired up correctly and I can get them to turn when I run the roadrunner code in mach3, so I assume all connections are good. I am using this kit from cnc4you.co.uk http://www.cnc4you.co.uk/CNC-Kits/Di...3.1Nm-x-3-Axis
Problem is I have no idea what settings I should be using. The motors seem to be turning very slowly. I have set up in mm's and in the motor tuning section I can change the velocity etc but I havent got a clue what I should be setting things at - I wonder if somebody could suggest some settings as a starting point? Seems the max mm's per minute I can set is 700 - even at that the motors dont spin fast to be honest - even at that speed a full 360 degree revolution of the spindle takes approx 3 seconds which doesn't seem right even to a newbie like me. I dont know what to set the "steps per" or "step pulse" etc under motor tunings too. I think also maybe I should be setting the switches on the driver - details are all below
Quick stats:
PSU outputs at 36v
motors Nema 23 3.1nm / 60BYGH301B
Driver CWD556 digital driver - switch setting chart below
Instructions that came with the kit show the settings for getting the motors to work ports and pins/ motor outputs and input signals and I have followed them to the letter - but there's no word on setting up anything else.
Any help much appreciated.
