2016-01-19 Thread TJoseph Powderly
i was reading the step/servo thread ... this is related but OT clear me up on in this... about very slow motion with steppers and servos assuming the minimum position change is .001mm ( commanded step or feedback unit so: a single step moves .001" and any feedback has .001 resolution )
