I would like to know how you can get 3600 steps/rev.  Because standard step
angle of 1.8 degrees with microstepping yields the following steps/rev
MicS    Full/faction
1/2:    200/.5  = 400 steps/rev
1/4:    200/.25 = 800 steps/rev
1/8:    200/.125        = 1600 steps/rev
1/16:   200/.0625       = 3200 steps/rev
1/32:   200/.03125      = 6400 steps/rev
1/64:   200/.015625 = 12800 steps/rev

Regards,

James

What is infinte angle control ?
