WHAT IS THE FORMULA TO DETERMINE STEPS PER INCH OR RESOLUTION FOR EACH AXIS?

The formula and calculation is a starting point to get into the area of steps per inch. You will then need to use the mach3 calibration utility to get the exact steps per inch. Formula: step per inch = (motor steps * microstepping) / (travel at one turn of the motor in inches) if microstepping is set at 16 (1/16 on the driver) then and you are using a sprocket and chain with a pitch of .25 inches and 12 teeth on the drive sprocket = (200 * 16) / (12 * .25) = 3200 / 3 = 1066.666 steps per inch For lead screw that has a travel of .5 inches at one turn like the 5 start 1/2 inch lead screw and using 4 microsteps per step (1/4): = (200 * 4) / (.5) = 800 / .5 = 1600 steps per inch Remember to use the mach3 calibration wizard and double check the driver microstep setting.
