Oops double post.
Hmm, nobody noticed my post #86...
I think you meant steps per mm there. Little misleading - implies that 200*10 = 400 but maybe that's just me being pedantic.Quote:

That was a long time ago now!
If I recall correctly my motors make a highish pitched noise when stationary - quiet though.

I think it's fine but I may be wrong! Not a loud noise?Quote:

its a high pitched sound that changes when you jog it on, at certain ponts it stops!
when i came to take the x axis of it gets this far (see pic) and stops.
