NOTE: ErgoFocusII will only work on Windows 10/11. Windows 7 or 8 will not install correct drivers!
The ErgoFocusII controller communicates via a USB port (virtual serial port). This is automatically identified (from the unique ErgoFocusII VID/PID).

When successfully connected, a green check mark is shown. In gray text is shown: •The maximun speed that can be achieved, depending on the steps/mm parameter. •The Standby and running current as set from factory. •The micro-stepping used, in this example 8 micro-steps per full step.

Steps/mm
The Steps/mm parameter must be set to correct Z scaling.
It is calculated as: motor[steps/rev] / Spindle[mm/rev].
Example: Stepper motor has 200[steps/rev], and spindle pitch is 0.25[mm/rev], this makes the Steps/mm parameter = 200 / 0.25 = 800.
Ramp Up/Down
This sets the start/stop acceleration ramp.
The bigger number, the slower acceleration. A value of 0 means 'instant' start/stop.
Roughly the rampup time can be calculated as the Ramp up/down value x10ms.
Swap Direction
Reverses the motor direction
Swap host direction
Reverses the sign of the position readout
Limit switch Normally Open
The polarity of the limit switches can be set. The default is "Normally Open".
Standby- and Running current
Adjusting the current requires great care and diligence.
