    Argon drive stepper + encoder?

    Does the Argon firmware support steppers with encoders combination to treat them as a high pole-count servo? or if not, are there plans to support it?
    My steppers are actually 3-phase steppers, and only have 3 wires, but they are steppers and not servos. They do not have encoders- will need to be added.

    Argon doesn't support stepper at the moment and there is no plan to add one at least any time soon. After all Argon's promised features are implemented and released (such the remaining feedback device options), we plan to make the Ion drive model that also will function as best imaginable stepper drive with feedback and everything.
