Manual move axis in 0.1mm steps

Hi all,

Has anyone found it possible to manually move the X,Y, or Z axis in 0.1mm steps, instead of the normal 1mm steps? When I go to --> Settings/Move_Axis --> I can only move in 1mm steps. Ideally I would be able to use the on-board controller instead of connecting the Mini to a laptop running Pronterface since I don't have a USB-A to USB-A cable on hand. I was wondering if this is possible without using Pronterface?

Thanks for any feedback 🙂

I think the USB connection you want to connect to is the micro usb port not the full size one that is used for the USB stick.

Good point! Thank you. I will do this.

However, do you know if there is a way to change the settings on the on-board controller to change the step resolution for "Move Axis"? I would prefer this, if possible.

I don't know, but I would imagine not. The options available in the standard firmware are somewhat limited. If you were prepared to break the link on the buddy board and install custom firmware then it might be possible, but that is way beyond my limited knowledge.
