Hi
I am doing work by my own which related to stepper motors and I would like to know how I can write a program to detect how many steps were missed and compensate missed steps and how I could calculate nomber of missed steps and finally how to generate additional steps forward or backward because I am the beginner of using labview so I do not know how can I do them ?
Many thanks

Hi,
As your question is not directly linked to the topic of this forum, maybe you should post it in a more appropriate part of the forum.
It will be easier for other users to see it and to help you.
As for your question, I wonder what you mean by missed steps. Your steper motor will turn according to your programming so I see no reason why it should miss some steps.
Maybe these two links will help you to correctly program your motor.
Stepper Motor Control (Parallel Port)
I hope this information will help you.
