3. After clicking on the button, a window will open in front of you. Go to the “Axes setting” tab. It is necessary to set 1600 pulses per 1 mm for the axes you are using (in our case, 3 axes - X, Y, Z).

The number of pulses per mm must be set according to the specifications of your machine.

How to calculate the number of pulses in DrufelCNC?

Set the acceleration to 10 mm per minute for the X, Y, Z axes. Enable Dir Invert only for those axes for which it is necessary. In our case, you need to enable Dir Invert for the X and Z axes.
