RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Closed loop stepper systems

The Gecko G3X0 drives are tremendous for hobby class machine but are not
true closed loop in the traditional sense. They are only closed loop
from the standpoint of the hardware. You can have an axis lag or fault
and the software will just keep merrily commanding it to move and expect
that it has. In a true closed loop the software is aware of the position
of the axes and makes adjustments accordingly.
