I've got some questions on micro-stepping a stepper motor. First, how is it accomplished? My first guess is that you would step the current in the active phase down a little bit as you stepped up the current in the next phase. This would make the armature sit rotationally between the two phases. Is this right? If so, is there a linear relationship between the current in the two phases and the rotational position? I.e., if I applied 2/3 the current to phase A and 1/3 the current to phase B, would the armature sit 1/3 step away from A? If not, I guess I would have to use some kind of rotational feedback. Any good suggestions for micro-stepping controllers (chips, hybrids, board level)? Thanks, -mark
