Okay thanks for the info, may give it a test, when I can.. I haven't got the moonlite motor yet but if the driver works it would be good to match them up. Not sure on the USB driver chip. I have had this thing working on a bipolar stepper with out trouble, but the resolution is way too course for a focuser, thats why my thoughts turned to the Moonlite hires stepper.

I also don't see why you couldn't use a Uno board instead of a nano. But nanos are only like $10 each. Just make sure you get the one with the right USB driver chip (I got the wrong one first time). It think it needs the CH340G chip?
