Steps per unit daft question

[komatias]

I know that this is a daft question but.... :)

When I am asked by mach3 how far I would like to move when using the 'set steps per unit' am I entering in mm or cm? I have just tried 50 and it moved close to 50cm! not quite what I expected!

Cheers

mm or inches, whichever you have set.

Again, more info needed to help you fix this. e.g. what are you using to drive the stepper motors, what is the lead screw pitch how many microsteps....

It really helps if you take the time tell what you are using to begin with.
