lost in microstepping

[Steve-M]

Hi can someone please clarify microstepping in Gecko G203V I can not find any where in instructions how to set up or are they set to 10 microsteps as standard? or have I missed something somewhere? there seems to be a lot said about microstep so | may have missed it

Thanks for your help

Steve,

The G203V, G201, and G202 are all 10uStep only drives. What this means is that it turns your 1.8 degree 200 step motor into a .18 degree 2000 step motor. It is the same resolution as a servo motor with a 500 line encoder.

The G210 and G212 have a step pulse multiplier in them to make it either a full step, half step, 5uStep or 10uStep drive.
