Currently the current is reduced to the idle value only when no stepper motor has moved for the idle time.

Ok, so it's the firmware telling them to idle down and not the chips themselves ?
-
Yes it's the firmware.

Currently you send G92 R1 Z# where # is the amount you want to step in mm, in the range -1 to +1mm. I have created two macro files, containing commands G92 R1 Z0.05 and G92 R1 Z-0.05 to test with. In the final release I hope to have the machine react faster to babystepping commands than it does in current alpha2 release.
-
Thanks for the prompt reply…gonna give it a try in the morning.

Installed the new 1.2A motor for the Z-Axis up from the 450ma motor. Bed comp now works much more predictably. Running out of stuff that's original on the printer outside of the shell.

David, a couple of quick babystep questions…
Are your macro files in the Git? or should I just create them myself?
Also, are you working with Christian to add buttons for the baby stepping right on the Print Status tab? That would be excellent.

@mhackney I looked at the code and seems that G92 R1 Z#.## is all you need, so you can make the macro files yourself.

I haven't put the macros on github because they are one-liners. I have been discussing adding baby stepping buttons to DWC with chrishamm, and I will add them to PanelDue.

Nice. Just a simple up and down should do it.
