I'm using the drives in pulse/direction mode The resolution is high indeed, how can I set up the higher rates? And, if I use servo drives, does the stepper_mm configuration still work for me? I will try that out and watch in the simulation the time it takes and all of that, how does that Mesa of Pico Systems hardware assist boards work?
