Hey everybody ,, i have 3 motors and its something like CNC machines all i need is to go on specific path ,
sure there is g code but g code isn't working with my machine so i have read that lead screw can move such a distance relative to number of pulses given to the motor so is this even right ? and my question is there a way to control the number of pulses of motor (my number of pulses i need to enter is 1000 pulse)
i hope to find a solution for this problem .

Make life easy for people trying to help you and describe exactly what you have and what you are trying to do.
What program are you using to control the motors? (I presume it interprets GCode). If you are using GRBL then it has settings for the number of steps per millimetre on each axis.
If you want assistance you need to provide a lot more information - we can't see your workbench from here.

it's 5 axis machine (3 parallel axes and 2 serial axes) i need to go on a path i tried grbl library but it controls 3 axes i tried linuxCNC but its very difficult so at the end i decided to work with controlling number of pulses for each motor so i am working now with arduino but not grbl library

Why all the secrecy? Just describe what the machine is for.
so i am working now with arduino but not grbl library
Then post your program and tell us in detail what it actually does and what you want it to do that is different. It will make it much easier to focus on the parts you need help with rather than wasting time on things that you can do.
Also post a link to the datasheets for your stepper motors and tell us what stepper motor drivers you are using.
