Set at 2 microsteps=1/2 steps at 400 pulses

All settings in ini file are same as stepconf.

The thing I'm stumped about is that these same settings work in mach3.

So I finally have this one figured out. I thought I would post it so I can maybe help someone else in the future. So when I put all my settings in stepconf and test in stepconf the actual scale is doubled when I measure it. The ini file is exact settings. So I finally gave it a whirl in linuxcnc and what do you know it all works out right with the scale. So the problem is with stepconf , it doubles when it runs. It sets it up fine in ini file . So you have to actual test your results in Linux Cnc , the stepconf file is useless for testing for acurracy.

Thanks for your posts and help, I hope someone finds this usefull

I noticed this, as well, just yesterday, when I hooked up a dial indicator/mag base and tried to verify my calibration in stepconf.
