break this down into steps first. Working on Metric system.
#1 Need Shaft Revs per Unit. So need tooth pitch(TP) and number of teeth on Pinion(PT). Shaft Revs per unti = 1 / (TP * PT)
So example working on Mod 1 with 24 Teeth: Shaft revs per unit = 1 / (1 * 24) =0.0416
#2 Motor Revs per unit With Ratio. For this we need number of teeth on Motor (MT) This is Motor Revs per unit = Shaft Revs per unit * PT / MT
Example 0.0416 * 24 / 12 =0.0832
#3 Steps Per Unit= Motor Revs * Microsteps. Example 0.0832 * 2000= 166.40 Steps per
