New Mill losing steps

Encoders won't stop missed steps with Mach3 it's an open loop system and doesn't correct position from encoder feedback. You can connect encoders to Mach3 but they will only display position in Encoder DRO's which you can compare with Mach's actual DRO's but Mach can't do anything about any error.!

I didn't expect it to it should be a function of the motor driver.

Calm down Dear wasn't having a go was explaining for OP benifit that encoder won't make a jot of difference.! . . . BUT . . . To respond this one then NO a true closed loop Controller would handle the positional error and talk to the drives regarding correction. The Analog Csmio controller takes encoder feedback and talks directly to the drive but still not true closed loop as it can only fault on error but not correct any error.
