HOW IT IS CALCULATED
Calculate belt-axis steps per millimeter
Combine motor steps, microstepping, pulley teeth and belt pitch.

01Values
02steps/mm = motor steps × microsteps ÷ (pulley teeth × belt pitch)
03Result
200 steps, 16× microstepping, 20 teeth and 2 mm pitch → 80 steps/mm.
Pulley circumference determines travel per revolution
More pulley teeth increase linear travel per revolution and therefore reduce required steps per millimeter.

In short
What logic does the calculator use?
steps/mm = motor steps × microsteps ÷ (pulley teeth × belt pitch)
Example?
200 steps, 16× microstepping, 20 teeth and 2 mm pitch → 80 steps/mm.
