RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] stepper feedback?

This is just from memory, but I think we had mentioned this before.

If I remember correctly the answer was that the feedback in Microkinetics
was not quite what everyone had in mind in that it was not really a closed
loop.

Hope someone can help me with the details.
