Ouch ! I would have thought what you said was true...except
if he has the delux control unit then I would think that angle
displacement
would be extremely important. If you just have a std stepper motor
drive then aim for 200 steps per rev

Ok, I wasn't aware they had two flavours.

You can tell the steps per rev by feeling the cogging with your fingers as
you turn the shaft.
Make a witness mark, and count the cogs over a revolution.

You won't find a 199 step/rev motor, so don't worry if you don't get exactly
200, it's still 200 if you're anywhere near.
