I am not using linux cnc,  I am just  'driving'  the stepper drivers with a raspberry pi

I figured,  same hardware (drivers, motors),  "Linux CNC" can use it, so thought I'd just ask here about the internals/specifics and how to use it.

As with PWM itself, I am probably just not too familiar with it.
Do you mean PWM?

Stepper drivers take step and direction, not PWM.

I think this is a job for an Arduino, rather than LinuxCNC.
Especially as I assume that an equatorial mount runs at an absolutely
constant rate anywhere in the world?
