Hi Jeff, thanks for the detailed input.
I only set it to 1/4 step because that’s what I read here way back when I built my MPCNC: Estlcam with experimental Arduino Mega2560 / Ramps 1.4 support
My X and Y are set to 1/32 and track spot on for movement.
I did find a post that referenced 1/32 for all thread should be 4535.44 - so for now I’ll just switch to that. Once I get my T8 parts in, I’ll get things switched to being set how most people have things these days.
And thanks for the tips on your points 2 and 3 – all I did was flash into eeprom, wasn’t thinking about the gcode portion. My “gcode command cheatsheet” has now grown!
