@droftarts so for the magnetic encoder that goes with the 1HCL it's 14bit = 16384 positions per 1 full revolution? And each position of the encoder can be reached? With 100% repeatability? Without loss of torque?
And how does the step pulse frequency influences all this? With high microstepping you soon reach very high frequencies on fast travel moves.

1HCL and "microstepping"
Hi,
I'm building a big (100cm print diameter, 120cm-ish print height) Delta printer. I want to use 1HCL boards with magnetic encoders on the XYZ tower motors.
When choosing pulley size what microstepping should I keep in mind? With normal 1.8° motors, 20 tooth pulley + 1/16 microstepping gives 80 steps per mm. And 1/16 is usually the highest microstepping a motor can do before it starts loosing torque and skipping steps.
With 1HCL and a 14bit magnetic encoder the real achievable microstepping is more? How much more? 32? 64? 128? Can I use bigger pulleys without sacrificing resolution?
