Larry: The Gecko G201 driver, as I understand what I have read, will ONLY do
microsteps. You must send 2000 pulses to the 201 to make ONE turn.

The G210 on the other hand can do that, PLUS you can change the "straps"
inside so it can do"Full Step" (200 pulses per turn), or "Half Step" (400 pulses
per turn), and 800, I think. I used the 210's in a product I shipped, and used
it ONLY for full-step (straps set for 200 steps per turn), and I didn't
experiment enough while I had 'em on-hand to "learn anything". GOOD stuff, the
Geckos!
