    Nema23 300oz Configuration

    Hi people, first of all apologize if my question has been answered earlier in another post, but the truth is I am very tired and I already read everything my eyes allowed. I've built a home-made CNC with almost no money. I'm using 3 motors Nema 23 300 oz (21 kg cm) in a TB66560-4v3 controller. The issue is that I can not putt my finger on Mach3 motor configurations. What the machine draw is not what the code says, I have always variations, for example, instead of doing 10 cm on X and Y, it draws X 10.45mm and Y 10.2mm. that's to much of an error. I threaded rods M10 (10mm of circumference) with a pitch of 1.5mm, common hardware, nothing fancy. The configuration I'm using now is Steps 1110.8333 (for both Y and X), 1406.4 Velocity / Acceleration 250, and the rest 0 and 0, respectively step and dir. Why these numbers? I read them some where and then star playing with them. Z config is 1066.66 / 666 / 250 / 0 / 0. The truth is that would greatly appreciate any information you could give me. Ah, the bars are directly attached with the axis of the motors. Sometimes when I change the numbers of "Steps per" in mach3, the motorez buzz and vibrate a lot or even "scream" and nothing, do not move. I'm so so sooo sorry for my english I hope you can understand me. Please, give me a hand would you?

    First, change the Step Pulse and Dir Pulse to 5 instead of 0's.

    Set all your steps per to 1066.666.

    Set your velocity to 500 and your accel to 100, and then see if it's better.

    Thanks ger21, I'll try that in a minute. I miss to say that Controller board is on Slow Decay - 1/8 Micro Steps - 50% of 3 Amps
