Hi I have tinyg v8

how adjust Calibration of Steps/mm

What is the equation for calibration
Because I have a problem in the calibration if you give something to go 20 mm it goes to only 18 mm

You need to adjust the value of $_tr for each axis to match the mechanics of your machine.
See

The steps-per-revolution is a physical property of the stepper motor (it's design). 200 steps per revolution is most typical. In tinyG, the step-angle parameter sets this; $_sa=360/(steps-per-revolution)

The distance moved in one step is determined by the mechanics of your machine - pulley diameter and teeth, plus belt tooth pitch, or threads pitch in a screw machine.
