A big thanks to StarGazing Ken who kindly researched and provided this information.

When using DRV8825 at high stepping modes like 1/8 or higher, the waveforms to the stepper can cause it to miss steps. This can be overcome using pairs of diodes which are wired in series with the coil pairs of the stepper motor.
