Thanks Bojan,
i have seen the eq6 threads, what I was after was the specs for a worm and gear like the one used in the eq6.
if I'm to order a worm and wheel for small parts, what pitch would i need to look for.
I will be using timing belt and pulley but the reduction with that alone wouldnt suffice. hence the thought of using a planetary gearbox.
I'm using 1/32 microstepping, so reduction ratio does not need to be too high to get the tracking rate.
for slewing, I just set the mcu to change to 1/8 or 1/4 microstepping to get high speed slews.
