Auto Position And Stepper Servo Skills

My question is does the Auto Position skill work with the Stepper servo skill?   I was asking this question because I was thinking about replacing some of the joints in my Inmoov build with stepper motors with gear boxes.  I would want to make sure I would have the same level of control.:)

The stepper robot skill turns steppers into servos. So, yes. Here’s the manual: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Servo/Stepper-Servo?id=21134

i highly recommend reading that manual so you can plan to use the limit switch feature. It’s a lifesaver!

oh and this might be useful to read. It explains how all servos in ARC are all controlled the same from all robot skills. So if something says it works as a servo, it works as a servo and uses the same options across all robot skills: https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/Servo-Controls

Oh thanks DJ that is a big help!  Also thank you for the feedback.   I may have a few more questions after reviewing this stuff.
