To be more specific, the stepper motor actually has a planetary gearbox that drops the motor down to 0.018 degree step angles from 1.8 degrees. I am designing a novel optical spectrum analyzer that relates the angle to a specific wavelength so my resolution would essentially come down to the...

I am driving 2 different gears with a belt off of a stepper motor that has a step angle of 0.018 degrees. For the purpose of my project, I need to have high precision between the stepper motor and the gears that it's driving. Is it necessary to have 20,000 teeth (360/0.018) on the gear that's...
