Hello fellows,


my ,machine uses leadscrew driven system (1cm diameter of leadscrew). I was working with RAMPS + Repetier + 1/32 microsteping and i have set STEPS_PER_UNIT to 4266 according to calculator. Everything was working perfect.

Now have changed the board with Rambo + Marlin (1/16 microsteping).
I have set STEPS_PER_UNIT to 2133 but motors don't work fine. they are flickering. Just for test i downgrade STEPS_PER_UNIT to 213 and the work like a charm with the exception that everything is downsized by 10.

I thing marlin does not support STEPS_PER_UNIT values that high (2133). Is there any factor that i missed ? Any suggestions ?

All motors are the same. Nema 17 1.8deg 2.5 amps (231 motor current)

Thanks in advance.
