Machine only moves 1/12 the distance in G1 code line was created by Les91
When runnig the cnc config wizard, I checked each axis and they moved the specified amount. When I run the attached G code file, the machine moves only 0.39 inches for the 2 - 5 inch moves. Do I have to config the G code interpreter? Can you help.
Thanks

That is easy, your first line of your G-code file has G21 (mm-mode) in it. Change it to G20 (inch mode).

G21 G90 G61 G40 F3 (change the G21 to G20 here!)

There might well still be a factor of 2 error. If there is then it is likely to be due to the driver microstep setting not matching what LinuxCNC was told.
You can fix it in Stepconf, edit the INI file or alter the settings on the drive, as you feel fit.
But only one of those, not all three :-)

Good catch Andy. Lazy me, I didn't bother to do the math.
