Close, but not quite. The Gecko is a 10 microstep drive so on a 200 step
motor it gives you 2000 steps per revolution. Now just plug in 2000
instead of 200 in the above statement and you will have it correct.

The terminology is from the standpoint of the computer. Full step means
that you send 200 pulses and you get one revolution. 10u means that you
haver to send 2000 steps to get a full revolutions. This is also why you
are not moving far enough because you have your step increments set too
low.
