I've got some CW5045 drivers and it seems like the dip switches are doing nothing like they are supposed to. Does anybody know the story here? I've tried it as if ON is OFF and vice versa, the results are still strange.
I've got 10mm ball screw and the motor has 1.8deg steps (200 steps per rev).
So if I wanted 1/5 microstepping I will need 100 steps per mm, right?
200 * 5 (the microstepping) = 1000 so that is 1000 steps per revolution.
1000 / 10 (the 10mm ballscrew) = 100 steps per mm.
Am I being stupid?
If I set the driver to what should be 1/5 microstepping it actually takes about 40 steps per mm. Huh?Last edited by Tenson; 09-10-2012 at 03:55 PM.
