The step_stick_stepper_settings: section of your config is where you configure the Stepstick hardware platform.

Optional settings

The following sections are optional in the step_stick_stepper_settings: section of your config. (If you don't include them, the default will be used).

high_time:

Single value, type: time string (secs) (Instructions for entering time strings) . Default: 20ms

How long should the digital output be held to high during a step pulse? This time depends on the latency/jitter of your output and the speed your stepper can be moved. Usually the jitter of your output is the limiting factor.

low_time:

Single value, type: time string (secs) (Instructions for entering time strings) . Default: 20ms

How long should the digital output be held to low after a step pulse? This time depends on the latency/jitter of your output and the speed your stepper can be moved. Usually the jitter of your output is the limiting factor.
