I have a HobbyCNC boad and I'm using Mach 3. My CNC is loosing steps! I dont know why. It is working perfectly fine and then it gets like "Stuck" and Mach3 shows that an axis is running but is not, after 1 or 2 seconds starts running back again but it loos alot of steps. What my be causing the problem? I check the CNC is fine I check the Gcode and is fine I even damage 3 pieces testing it and the fixing steps are different on each part. The missing steps are sometimes in X-Y-Z but most times on Y Please help  |

| You're trying to go faster than your motors are capable of. Slow everything down. If it tends to stall in the same places, check for binding of your screws.
