clunks / missing steps - DM856 and single pulse operation

[Jonathan]

these DM856s all struggle with low frequency pulses / single pulse operation.

Just use microstepping to increase the frequency. You'll loose incremental torque, but that most likely doesn't make any difference as you're only interested in the coarser steps.

Kudos again to Jonathan, I'm using 1/4 microstepping and sending four pulses to move a step. Works like a treat, no jumping, glitching, random movements.
