Question regarding current

Mostly Printed CNC - MPCNC Troubleshooting

Do all 3 X,Y,Z axis have the same current limit? (asking since there are 2 steppers to one driver for both the X and Y axis)

Also what is the general default current used? (not understanding the current limit equation from video)

Thanks.

Nope.

Start with X and Y at .7V and Z at .46V and see how things feel. They can handle more than that but you will need a fan on your ramps board to keep the drivers cool.
