Gaining ~5um every time?

Hey guys, I've emailed Marco about this issue, but just thought I'd ask here too unless it's a silly mistake.

Basically, if I reset the DSP, the carriage goes home. I then send it to 320, and set my micrometer on 0. I then send it back to 1, and send it back to 320, and it has moved an extra ~5um. If I send it back to one, and back to 320 multiple times, it keeps adding 5um or so onto the travelled distance. However, when I send it back to 0,0, it goes back and touches the limit switch normally.

I have a youtube video uploading now, though has anyone experienced this too?

Regards,
Dan

Nevermind, turns out my stepper driver was only good for 1/8 microstepping anyway. Just bought some 1/16 controllers.
