    Losing Steps

    I have a TAIG with DESKCNC 2nd Gen and Miroproto Driver (Lambdaa Series 1000x)

    I'm Losing Steps seems to happen when both X and Y axis are moving.
    I wired an external power supply into the Microproto Driver, same thing.
    I noticed that the Microproto uses 1 PIC microcontroller to drive two stepper motors.... can it guarantee pulses in a timely manner? I'm wondering if its a flaw in the Mircoproto driver.

    There doesn't seem to be much info available on that driver. The Linistepper design that I support and sell uses one PIC per axis and I run it at 20,000 steps per second, but again, that is one PIC per axis. Aren't they helping you with the problem?
