I do not understand the servo turning procedures as applied to steppers. My procedure has just been to adjust velocity, acceleration and to a lesser extent jerk until the motions sound smooth. What can the graphs tell me on an open loop stepper system? Won’t any combination of settings show perfect ...

I accidentally deleted tbe configuration on one of my machines and it’s been years since I’ve messed with configuration on it. I have not been able to find a document describing the setup.

I replaced it and within a few seconds the ceramic housing split poped and smoked. It got so hot that it de-soldered itself and fell out on one end, opening the circuit. The boar...
