Can steps per mm be decimal value?
October 20, 2022 09:07AM
In Marlin, I read that the steps per mm parameter takes up to second decimal point. But, how's this implemented as pulses?
My understanding is steps per mm = number of pulses generated for 1 mm.
How is it possible to generate decimal number of pulses? Or are the decimals accumulated or rounded?
Kindly help me with this!
Thanks in advance!

... this is mostly calculated with some sort of adapted rounding or Bresenham-algorhythmus ...
