I am 70% to completing my router .
I am using a HobbyCNC Pro board with 200oz motors Linear bearings on hardened shaft. About 4 ozs will move the gantry and there does not seem to be any sticking spots.
I have noticed many references to missed steps when using steppers.
What are the major causes, and can they be minimised in the early stages of design and fabrication.
Will Micro stepping minimise the impact of missed steps. I had planned to use half step to start with.
My motors have double shaft so that I could operate manually, but I hear that Back EMF will be a problem if the motors are connected. what is the workaround for this.
