    Hi,

    In the instructions you say the ULN2003 and BYJ48 wont do half stepping but on this page they did it http://cyaninfinite.com/tutorials/moving-the-28byj-48-stepper-motor/
    I wonder if you could update the application to do this as well?

    Hi
    It does not work will all BYJ8 steppers. Only certain ones. We had looked at half stepping earlier.
    I will look at the code you reference later but if its the same as we looked at before, then only a certain percentage will work - not all BYJxx motors are the same or use the same gearing etc - though from the outside they all look the same,

    Hi Craig
    Short answer is not possible. Code changes to move to accell stepper library which I believe is the worst way of controlling a focuser is not possible.
