Settings Stepper Motor Jumpers

[travistrue]

I'm having trouble figuring out the diagram for stepper motors' micro-step jumper settings. There are 4 sets of 3x2 pins where each set of pins are M0, M1, and M2. I've put a jumper on both M0 and M2 pins (top and bottom pins) for the X and Y motors, but not sure how to jump the middle-bottom one for M1. Do I just put half a jumper on it? I mean, that does nothing, but it's supposed to be jumped lol. I'm very new to setting jumpers. I attached a picture of how I setup the jumpers.

Hi,

Think of these things as little switches. The jumpers close or make the connection between the two pins. So if you cover both pins that would be On, placing on just one pin would be off. You don't need to put it on the single pin but std convention is to place it on one pin so you don't loose the jumper.

So:
on = closed or jumped
off = open or no jumper (or on one pin for storage)

Spec sheet for the Azteeg v1.1 board says 1/32 micro steps is on,off,on looks like you have that correct for X and Y!
for 1/16 ms - off,off,on
for 1/8 sms - on,on,off

You don't have any jumpers on Z, and E is set to 1/8 ms.

Directions said to set Z and E to 1/16 ms. so set the last two jumper blocks to off,off,on

Edit: see wasabi's post below for v2 boards

Thanks, Rick. That makes sense, and I've setup my jumpers accordingly. I just got confused because the pin table provides two 1/32 entries at the end instead of a single entry. I guess I could either configured the drivers to (ON, OFF, ON) or (ON, ON, ON) to set the micro-step resolution to 1/32?

Note that there are differences between the jumper settings between V1.1 and V2.

For V2, 1/16 is ON, ON, OFF; 1/32 is OFF, ON, OFF. Also note on the V2 that these are read right to left, not left to right as with the 1.1.

Here's a shot of my V2 jumpers:

travistrue,

Sorry I did not notice that you had a V2 board, use the settings that wasabi posted above....

Rick: I didn't realize I had a V2 board either. I was getting concerned about why my board looked different than the diagram (the biggest difference to me, is that there aren't two connectors for dual z-stepper motors). Thanks again, though. You still cleared up my misunderstanding of the jumpers.

Thanks for pointing that out, wasabi. I have changed my jumpers to yours.
