Whoops! Forgot to mention that there are big benefits
to NOT using binary divisible stepper modes as the
(bad) resonances are all based on the binary divisible
nature of the motor poles. Using stepper modes based on
prime numbers; like 2000 (/5) or 1200 and 3600 (/3)
give much better motor performance in regard to
resonance problems.
