That's something I'm still trying to figure out.
The electronics part of this is killing me...

Bear with me, I really am trying to grok it.

I'm not exactly sure yet.
I see in the emc.ini that the setting was 1.0.
I'm not sure what that translates to yet.
I'm still reading up.

Can you describe it for me?

10 tooth on motor, 20 tooth on screw.

Like I said, bear with me.
Part of the problem is that I am too ignorant of
the electronics side of things, but am trying to learn.
