Gecho 210 step multiplier, was Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Stepper Math

In my understanding, the G201 requires 2000 pulse for one rev
(assuming a stepper motor with 200 steps per rev). I believe the
G210 IS the same when in 1X mode. However, the advantage of the G210
is if your controller can't output pulses fast enough. Then you can,
as an example, go to 10X mode. In this mode your controller would
output 200 pulses for one rev.

Mariss, please correct me if I am wrong.
