A laser pointer is installed perpendicularly to the motor shaft. |

The laser is aimed at a target located 12 feet farther.
A scrap piece of foam is used as a counterweight to minimize the vibration.

The stepper motors are calibrated until each micro-steps are equidistant.
In my configuration, each step is divided in 20 micro-steps.
This gives 4000 micro-steps per motor turn.
