    I don’t think that motor will work. It’s not the step angle that’s the problem, it’s the 5 leads. The stepper drivers on tinyG (and almost all stepper drivers, actually) are bipolar devices consisting of 2 independent drive circuits. These work with 4 wire, 6 wire and 8 wire motors. Odd numbers implies common grounds between the phases, which require special drivers.

    I think I may have been interested in that motor as well. I saw it on MPJA. Until I saw the 5 lead config and moved on.
