I am using the following hardware.

17HS15-1504S
DRV8825
Arduino Nano

I have the driver jumped to do 1/8th stepping. Which results in 1600 steps per revolution. I have verified this is the case by manually entering in max steps to 1600 and then going to 1600.

My problem is when I hit the +100 button on the windows application, the motor actually moves 200, and the position reported in the UI is 200. Same thing happens with the other options, basically they are all doubled.

I have the firmware configured for mode 8, not sure what else to check to get it to actually move 100.

Will this be an issue during usage, and is there anything else I can check to try to resolve?

Thanks!
