I'm trying to configure axis for my cnc, which has an 8mm lead screw. It seems the proper value for stepsPerInch in EmcArduino.cpp seems to be around 347.5 (final value determined once I actually cut something).

However, no matter what I do I cannot increase the speed beyond 24.0 (according to the value on the axis screen). It seems axis has no impact on jog speed. No matter what I set the jog speed slider to it's still slowly ramping up to 24.0 and that's where it stays.

I managed to get axis to set the default jog speed to 100 and the max speed to 500, yet it still uses 24.0.

Anybody got an idea on what I can do to increase the speed (24.0 is really slow).

Thanks,
Markus

Boy this LinuxCNC is a piece of work.

Turns out I had to raise several limits in the ini file for the jog speed setting to matter. Would've been nice if at one point it would've said that these settings don't make no sense.

On top of that the units in the ini file and the units displayed in the UI don't match, mm/s vs. mm/min.

Sorry for the noise,
Markus
