Not with your current hardware.
Would be better to go for a servo system if you want to add closed loop control.
If you are losing steps then you are most likely under powered or trying to push the speed faster than the system can handle.
I don’t know this driver that well, but i suspect that the voltage is quite low and that is most likely the problem.
The cheapest option would be to buy a better driver and run at a higher voltage.
Then it may not loose steps?

Built a mediem sized metal milling machine with 10 amp routout boards and nema34 160 oz-inch steppermotors running mack3,
Overall gearing reduction is 6 to 1(tooted belt and lead screw)...works great moves great...but it drops steps!!!
Is there any-way encoders could be fitted to the motors and (controlers and software) to create a closed loop control like the professional systems....bobin
