Driver settings: HSS57
On the HSS57 driver, the dip switch array provides further fine tuning of motor direction and microsteps which in turn affects how fast or precise the system becomes. Incorrect setting of the dip switches may lead to incorrect steps per mm travelled by the motor. We recommend 1/8th step noted by the 1600 pulses/rev. We have added a handy conversion table to convert Pulses/Rev to Microsteps. Please see below:

Please note: the dip switch is in the ‘ON‘ position when it is facing downwards and in the ‘OFF‘ position when it is facing upwards. See below for 1/8th microstep with the motor direction set clockwise.
