Is Linistepper compatible with 3.6 degree motors (100 steps / rev) ?
Just a quick question about motor compatibility.
I have been reading the PIClist, Microchip PIC webpages and cannot find any confirmation that the Linistepper V2b board is compatible with steppermotors that rotate at anything other than 200 steps / rev (1.8 degrees). Logically I cannot see why this should make any difference, but I have not found any "official" confirmation of this.
I read with interest the pcbheaven.com review:

The motors I intend to use are "Howard Ind. 1-19-4201" with the following specification (gathered from the internerd ... if anybody has a copy of the datasheet for these, I would be very grateful for a copy):
Step resolution 3.6deg (100 steps per rotation), Operating voltage 24 V, Line resistance 140 Ω, Continuous current 160 mA, Wiring: common=black, A+= brown, A-=red, B+= green, B-= white.
Any comments on the suitability of these motors would be greatly appreciated.
