Using as an example this system https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1547.html with the addition of an analog input device.

Oversimplifying, the Arduino receives a signal from the input device and compares it to a fixed range. If the signal is out of range the stepper moves one step in the appropriate direction. This repeats until there is parity with a maximum movement of 90 degrees (50 steps).

In the case of maximum movement of 50 steps the maximum cycle time needs to be no more than 500ms. Is this reasonable?
