P375 card with 3 stepper - MPOS and DPOS in error
Even with open loop stepper, the P375 has an encoder counter that counts the pulses and sends them back to the controller so that we can do registration. The feedback is in pulse counts but DPOS is in counts x 256.
Therefore it is necessary to set ENCODER_RATIO(256, 1) to get the MPOS in the same counts as the DPOS.

I have a problem setting high STEP_RATIO values. Answer: There is a ratio limit on the step ratio of 100:1 STEP_RATIO(-12600, 126) is OK but any higher ratio will give the error. Using a high ratio like the above is actually not a good idea. You are ...
