Hi!

Thanks, Andrew!!
As for the cable: 6 feet sounds good - translates to some 180 cm in Europe, right? :) How do you connect it to the board then? Right now I'm using the white connector (don't know the name of it) but I can't make any of those myself, for an extension cable.

And thanks for the advice on the board! In the Indi panel, there is an option for "Original" or "2.1" version of board. Setting it to 2.1 made the motor stop (the very low) buzzing and suddenly it moves! Great!!!

But: no coil power - how does it then hold the position? On all my 3 previous DIY stepper motor focusers, I have used an option for "coil power" to hold the focuser in position.

Secondly: I cen see in this thread that others have asked about the microstepping, and I really do not get it. I seem to get full steps - 200 makes a full rotation (360 degrees), which is far less than the 1/32 microstep should do. So how does this really work?

If I want to change the microstepping - would need to solder the resistors (according to the description of the HAT), right? And then set the DIP switches AND adjust the driver? (I'll try to aviod this but good to know)
