Procurando um pouco mais sobre o asunto vi um cara falando na perda de precisão compranado o 1/16 com o 1/32, veja se esse não é quase o que esta acontecendo comigo :
1/32 microstepping gives you more 'positions' between full-steps (which are 1.8°), This INCREASES Resolution. Good! smile
1/32 microstepping with its increased 'Resolution' will actually DECREASE Accuracy. Bad! - "Huh?" You say ?
- Stepper motors have poor 'mid-step' accuracy. So Microstepping a 1.8° Stepper you don't actaully get 32 x 0.05626°, some of those might be 0.06° Steps, some might be 0.050°. Load Torque will also cause 'backlash' in the rotor of the stepper in microstepping, offsetting the rotor from its intended position until the torque is sufficent to actually move it where it was supposed to - having now missed several steps potentially...
1/32 microstepping decreases the Torque compared to 1/16..
- At 1/16, you get ~10% of the "Full Step Holding Torque" of the stepper
- At 1/32, you get ~5% of the "Full Step Holding Torque" of the stepper.
So whats this got to do with accuracy?
If the load torque plus the steppers friction torque is greater than the incremental torque of a microstep - additional microsteps will need to occur until the accumulated torque exceeds the load torque plus the steppers friction torque. Basically, sending a microstep does not mean the motor will actually move! - BAD!
