Re: Loosing steps with Gecko 340 drive--Mariss?

Derek,

One way to account for what you are describing is the steps may be
too close together. The width one step may overlap into the timing
limits for the next step. The result would be the subsequent step
would be missed altogether simply because the G340 wouldn't "see" it
to count it. If you have a scope, you should be able to see if this
is happening.
