    Does this sound right?

    Using roller chain and sprocket for axis drive.

    Sprocket = 0.5" pitch with 9 teeth

    Stepper Motor = 200 steps per rev.


    If set as above one revolution would equal 5 inches?

    If I set the driver to 1/2 step then there would be 400 steps/rev and 2.5 inches of travel?

    Thanks guys!

    I don't know if the travel is correct, but the travel will stay the same at 1/2 step, but the steps per motor revolution will double
