Hey Rod,
That's a great point. Going to give 1/16 another go but last time i used 1/16 i was getting some pretty intense noise/vibration which i think was leading to even more skipped steps due to resonance. How ever this was early on and a bit has changed in the platform since then.

The longer you run ithe more you are inviting errors due to slight imbalances as the scope moves up and sits at a greater angle.
I'll be interested to hear how the new driver performs.
Regarding the ? skipped steps. I think Bojan mentioned earlier that you had many more microsteps than needed. Would reducing the number of microsteps increase the torque a little and perhaps help with that small inconsistency you are seeing? I'm sure Bojan could answer that question.
Very impressive progress. It's been good to see how this develops.
Rod.
