    Hello together,
    I have a question about the $*SA command. I have a BLDC servo with 22.5° step angle and an encoder with 1024 steps resolution. This results in an unusual value of 0.3515625° per pulse. Can I set this value by SA or is it too long?
    The axis does not move exactly, so I had the assumption.
    Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the bad English.
    Many greetings, Daniel

    Welcome to the Forum.
    First I have seen this question.
    How do you interface tinyG to this motor?
    A specific reference to data on the motor might help.

    The $SA parameter is simply used in a calculation (by tinyG) to determine how far each step pulse (or microstep) will move

    I am sort of assuming that you are using a logical interface to an external BDLC controller, but don’t want to speculate too much.

    Hello and many thanks!
    I use the Nanotec PD2-CB42M024040-E-01 with clock/direction interface. I have used the buffered signals from the pin header of the board.
    With e.g. 100mm travel distance the deviation is approx. 1mm. I can exclude a tracking error. That’s why I had the idea of rounding errors.
    Thanks in advance!

    OK, for my use here is the klink to the motor
    https://us.nanotec.com/products/2130-pd2-cb42m024040-e-01

    Lots of I/O and data to look at, need some time.

    Sooner or later I’ll ask for your parameter set, the results of a $$ command to tinyG. Please paste that to a Cloud drive (Gdrive or whatever) and provide me a URL. If you have some sort of connection diagram, copy that to the cloud as well
    What are you using to communicate with tinyG? A terminal interface (e.g. CoolTerm), a Gui (e.g. Chilipeppr, cnc.js) or ?

    Hello,
    thank you very much, but please don’t invest too much time with this topic. I used OpenPNP and this is the configuration section:

    The Servo ist the Y-axis.

    Hmmm, that format will make it difficult for me to spot obvious issues.
    The data is there, but organized differently than $$ report

    Here is a hint for you to contemplate:
    tinyG computes the degrees revolution per step pulse by dividing the $sa parameter by the $mi parameter. So, for a simple 200 step per revolution bipolar stepper driven by the tinyG onboard driver, with $mi=8, tinyG sends step pulses as if the effective step angle is 1.8/8=0.125 degrees.
    so your step angle is not all that out of whack.

    I have no simple way to ask all the pertinent questions on your level translators, polarity of connections (remember Enable is active low on tinyG) and all the other details.
