HI All,

Ok, now that I have an EMC installation that will move things, I have
some more questions.

How to I set the steps per unit for each axis?

I am working with an Sherline mill which with a 20 tpi lead screw and
stepper motors in 1/2 step mode requires 8000 steps per inch.  I am at a
loss to figure out what parameters in the emc.ini file need to be set to
achieve this.

Thanks for all the help

John Guenther
