    Sorry, for such a late reply. You might post on the Centroid User forum Centroid Acorn CNC Controller - Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

    But yes it does as long the the stepper motor driver is closing the loop and takes step and direction signals. That is, the encoder from the stepper motor plugs/connects to its driver. Posting an example of which motor/driver you want to use is most helpful, otherwise we are guessing at what you want to use.

    Which is the same as every other step/dir controller.
