Can someone on the pro-team confirm this for me? Looking on the Wiki, I read the following statement from this page: http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/About

  • The stepper motors are 400 steps per revolution, but 200 steps/rev will work as well.

Also referring to the GRBL reference, it appears there are (8) microsteps per step, with a net result of 1600 steps per revolution (using 200).

With the Estlcam CNC controls, 1600 steps per rev nets verified machine movements (1" moved = 1" measured in all axes).

I'm curious about the real motor capability... is it really 400 steps per revolution? If so, I can double my precision?
