Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] FlashcurCNC and close loop

Hi George;

Encoders or not I have a hard time think of steppers as a closed loop
solution. I geuss it is a matter of how much resolution you need, I
just have a hardtime imagining a stepper servoing to withing a couple of
encoder counts under full load.
