Backlash of 20? I can detect that the slack has been taken up in the cogs after 2 pulses of 8 (ie 16 microsteps) where as you are at 2x20. Interesting.

Do you know how many steps you have within the CFZ before you pass back out of it?

I have a dial gauge at work I can use to measure travel in the micron range. I will have a look to see where I am with it.

I have found that microsteps under 4 and my motor becomes unreliable. It seems to falter sometimes. 4 and above no problem.

PS what do you think about the tube temp control idea?
