What are the advantages of Micro stepping?
Micro stepping serves three purposes. First, it allows a stepping motor to stop and hold a position between the full or half-step positions. Second, it largely eliminates the jerky character of low speed stepping motor operation and the noise at intermediate speeds. Third, it reduces problems with resonance. Although some micro stepping controllers offer hundreds of intermediate positions between steps, it is worth noting that micro stepping does not generally offer great precision, both because of linearity problems and because of the effects of static friction.
