Hello scotta,

thank you for your quick reply. Yes, that is exactly what I thought myself.

The EC500 is powered by an external power supply. From the 6 pin header, GND, SCK and SDO have been connected to one of the probes.

I don´t have any kind of schematic on hands for the EC500. So I am not shure, why the header pin is labeled SDO. I would expect SDIO for a sufficient SWD connector. Is your header labeled with a SDO too?

My EC500 is labeled with IMXR_EC500 2023-05-18

Up to now, there has not been a single successful flash. From within MCUExpresso, I am at least able to build your application.

If this is not going to be successful: do you think, your actual project with W5500 and raspberry pi pico is as powerful as the 1052 solution and could be a viable alternative?

Thank you very much. I will try to give more details tomorrow.

Cheers Julius

Unfortunately, no. It's a one way process.

At the risk of the blind leading the blind, to me that is not quite the right question. That chart is for your micro-stepping. Like the 800 is 4 microsteps, if you're using a 1.8 deg. stepper. I have always looked at it this way - What are you doing with the motor? If your opening a door or driving a ram, picking 800 would be fine, but using that on a belt or lead screw may very well end up leaving artifacts in the work due to the rougher movement between points. The downside is the more micro-steps you have the more torque you lose. 3200 (16 micro-steps) seams to be a reasonable middle ground that most use as standard. The controller will put out as many steps as directed by LinuxCNC to make a revolution, just a matter of how fast it can do it.

Whatever you chose, that gets figured out when you tell LinuxCNC in your .ini file how many pulses it takes to move one unit. That is set with the SCALE on each axis. Like for me, I have 16 micro-steps (3200) and a 5mm pitch screw, which works out to SCALE = 640 or -640 depending which way you need the motor to move.

I'd always recommend calculating the joint SCALE based on the hardware. ie steps per revolution of the stepper motor and then the leadscrew pitch etc. If the actual movement achieved is not correct I'd be suspicious of lost steps, especially if micro stepping.
