Z axis does not respond to step change

Z axis does not respond to step change

Have a problem with my 3D printer. I modified the Z axis to 1/8 of a step and no matter what the value entered in the steps/mm section, it keeps moving the same incorrect distance. Any tips?

Ty.

Updating. I'm using the A4988 driver and I noticed that the distance is always doubled. At 1/16 it works fine, but when I change it to 1/8 it doubles the distance and doesn't respond to changes in the steps/mm section.

steps/mm is stored in eeprom
If you update Configuration.h you must then update your eeprom contents

M502 then M500 will load defaults from Config files then save them to eeprom

Also some controller (ie cheap RAMPS) if you remove the jumpers from under the stepper drivers nothing changes as there are traces on the PCB joining the jumpers pins permanently.
