Fun and games. Trying to make mill factional

[JAZZCNC]

I would of liked to go closed loop, but the cs-labs controller can play up at times using a closed loop system.

Who's told you that load of rubbish.?

The Cslabs controller knows nothing about what drives it controls, that goes for closed-loop stepper drives or Servo drives. All it does is send out pulses to the drives after that it knows nothing about the position or even whether the pulses were received.
The closed-loop portion of the stepper system is solely kept between the drive and the motor and nothing gets fed back to the CSlabs controller, the only part it plays is producing the pulses and to that end, it doesn't know or care what receives them.

I have built dozens of machines with Cslab controllers and closed-loop steppers and I can tell you with 100% certainty that it works perfectly fine with them.
