I am configuring a blackfoot with 1 CW8060 and 2 CW230's with linuxcnc and cannot figure out the proper settings for stepconf. Can you provide the default settings that should work with these motors?

These are the recommend values(default) for our blackFoot CNC machine, the acceleration and velocity can be adjusted as high as the motor can rotate without stalling! Suggested increment's will be by 10's. blackFoot: X-axis “CW8060 (6.0A) Driver” Set to 1/16 Microstep, 5.43A Dipswitches: 01100110 (“0”=down, “1”=up) Motor Tuning: 914.29 steps/in, Velocity 400.02, Acceleration 4 Y-axis “CW230 (3.0A) Driver” Set to 1/16 Microstep, 2.7A Dipswitches: 11001100 Motor Tuning: 1422.22 steps/in, Velocity 400.02, Acceleration 4 Z-axis “CW230 (3.0A) Driver” Set to 1/4 Microstep, 2.7A Dipswitches: 10101100 Motor Tuning: 1600 steps/in, Velocity 79.98, Acceleration 5 Additional Information: Thanks! What about step and direction config? I have: Step time: 2000ns Step space: 8000ns Direction hold: 5000ns Direction Setup: 5000ns
