Which positional error accumulates when stepper rotors skip counts?

💡 Explanation

Open-loop systems rely on precise rotor steps without feedback; missed steps accumulate error via dead reckoning, leading to increasing positional drift as the encoder cannot correct the cumulative effect, because there is no feedback, therefore open-loop control fails, rather than oscillation effects, typical in closed loop.
