Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper Scaling issue

I expect you've got gecko g201 drives which are 10Xmicrostep drives. This
means you need 10 pulses from the computer to equal one full step. That's
what I'm using as well, although I'm using CNCpro for the software so I
can't help with that end of your setup.
