Hello all. Thanks for taking up your time to read my post.


I am interested in using one of these cheap stepper motors for one of my projects, but need a step angle of ~2°. I came across the MK70-1 as the datasheet of http://www.kynix.comuploadfiles/pdf2286/MK70-1.pdf and noticed that it has a "stride angle" of 5.625°/64. What exactly does this mean? I doubt it will give me the 2° accuracy which I desire, so maybe I could use a gear system to reduce that step angle further.


But in general, what is that stride angle referring to ?


Can anyone help me ? I am very puzzled about this question.
