@DavidEblen

anything else look strange to you?

Yes. Change $1 to $1=255.

@DavidEblen

what should it be?

I don’t know for your machine. You’ll need to calibrate the steps/mm. When you set it up as an X-Carve it used the settings for the X-carve.

@NeilFerreri1

Lets say your setting is currently 250.000, you try to jog 50mm and it actually moves 12mm.

Expected/actual*current steps per mm = your new steps per mm.

So, 50/12 = 4.1667. That times 250.000 = 1041.667.

You’d enter $102 = 1041.667.

Repeat the tests until you get it dialed in. I’d jog as far as you can, and make sure you are measuring accurately and precisely.
