I am using my NEMA17 at 1/32 microstepping and the resolution is far better than required for my telescope, so you can try out how much resolution you require.


Thanks Jo for explanation. Is this settings from the driver interface or the Nano code?


Thank you

There are three physical microswitches on the DRV8825 control board. The DRV8825 spec sheet will tell you how to set them to have 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/16 or 1/32 microstepping modes.

In this video I demonstrate how they work:
