stepper-motor - Question and answers

I'm working on a mechatronic project where I'm controlling a stepper motor with a Raspberry Pi, but I'm experiencing missed steps when the motor accelerates quickly. How can I prevent this and ensure accurate positioning?

Mechatronics troubleshooting stepper-motor

For my home automation setup, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with a TB6600 driver to control a NEMA 17 stepper motor for a linear actuator. The motor works fine at low speeds, but when I ramp up the acceleration in my Python script, it starts skipping steps, which ruins the precision. I've already checked the wiring and power supply (using a 24V, 5A source), and I'm using microstepping set to 1/16. What else should I try?
