I'm building an antenna rotator based on SatNOGS v2 and I need programming help

I can't say why the steps don't match. I have never used the TB6600 driver and am not familisr with it.

Does the driver assume that the motor has 200 steps per rev? Is your motor a 200 step per rev motor (check data sheet)?

Yes, the motor is 1.8ΒΊ per step, the TB6600 has settings for 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 and 6400 steps per revolution.

Just an update I was able to get everything sorted out, I was also able to make it work wirelessly by using an ESP32 as a Wifi-Serial bridge, I also found out that using half step/400 steps per revolution is also woking ok, not as noisy as full step but still resonates quite a bit, I have no idea why more than 400 steps won't work properly, I don't know if it's a controller bug or what it is as both motors and controllers behave the same when using more than 400 steps (angles don't match).

any chance of sharing your final code for the esp32 i am trying to do the same thing.
