Hi Ron,

You are correct, setting to half step should move only half the distance for a given count.

What does it mean "wave mode did nothing at all' ?

As far as distance moved, wave and full should be identical, it is just how the phases of the motor are energized that changes.

If interested in how the motor is controlled, see the charts on phases energized based on wave/full and half (in the chart, nstep full = two phase on stepping).
Simple steppers

I just did the half/full and wave on my unit with nstep and it worked as expected with half step = half distance for same count.

What is your phase wiring set to, default is '0'

Which version of nStep do you have (a picture is worth a thousand words
