So it's out by a factor of 4.something.
Are you sure the microstepping is 10?
Easy way to check, is if you mark a motor pulley/screw, then request a move of 3mm, it should rotate one full turn. If it doesn't, then you need to work out why.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

I seem to have a recollection of certain drives having the switches the wrong way around, but if that was the case, you'd be out by a far larger factor.
Run the test like I said, and you'll know for sure if it's the microstep setting causing the numbers to be wrong or not.
I think you should be able to swap back to the standard screen by simply selecting the standard screen, however I've never used MSM. Regardless, I prefer to calculate the steps manually, as that way I know if something isn't set how it should be, or I've got a number wrong somewhere.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

If you run machloader create a copy of your setup its a good idea to have a standard screen setup to troubleshoot, and you could run autotune.
Are you sure not mixing Motor tuning and mach default mm's and inches 26x25.4 = 660 would only be 20% out closer than 400%.Last edited by lucan07; 03-06-2016 at 06:00 PM.

You are using a smoothstepper so that I suspect generates pulses rather than PC, I would look closely at the smoothstepper settings if there is a multiplier or something there, some do for servo's to get up to speed. Some good videos on warp9 for setup I saw when considering the smoothstep

ok set the drivers to 32 steps and half current
used the auto tune feature and doing a full x travel I get 550mm, soft limt isn't working for some reason so I need to look into that
