Torque half step/full step in stepper motor
At an exam, I was asked the following question:
A stepper motor has the greatest torque on its shaft in the 'halfstep/full step'.
Everywhere on the internet it says that full step gives the most ...

Fake microstepping in A4899 and LV8729 stepper-drivers?
I built a test jig to experiment with a friend's 16-pin A4988 stepper driver, and even added bi-directional LEDs to the outputs and, regular LEDs to the inputs, to see if it behaved as expected.
By ...
