[title] Prepare the stepper motor drivers - Part 1
[* 11] The DM542T stepper drivers allow current and micro-stepping control, resulting in a vast range of configurations.
[* 10] Adjust the switches on the drivers for each stepper motor
[* 2] Depressing switches 1 and 2 while simultaneously elevating switch 3 establishes a current of 2.69 amperes, marginally below the rated current for the stepper motors. This configuration is designed to enhance performance and extend the operational lifespan of the components.
[* 3] The upwwards positioning of switch 4 ensures that only half of the designated current is provided to the stepper motors when they are at a standstill, thus preventing the potential for overheating in both the stepper motors and the associated drivers.
-[* 5] Elevating Switches 5 and 6 simultaneously with the downward orientation of Switches 7 and 8 configures the pulse/revolution rate to 1600, in conjunction with the ball screws, this specific arrangement ensures that the axis traverses a distance of 1mm for each full revolution accomplished by the stepper motor, with the exception of the Z axis.
