Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Microstepping

Joe I believe you might be mistaken about the Gecko drive. Your computer
sends one pulse to move your steppers and the Gecko drive sends out 10
micro steps to the stepper. It always sends out 10 if you have it set
that way it will not stop at 8 or 9 micro steps. It basically fills in
the micro steps for every step so don't change your programs settings to
10000.
