I'd like to see pin configurations added for the common Chinese BOBs and
all in one driver boards.
Right now there's 4 or 5 common ones that come with kits. Some of them
likely have the same pin configurations.
There's the green 6 axis one that is pretty bare bones with just
step/dir outputs

You cant really do that - as you can wire any axis to any of the output
pins you like and any input to any input pin.
Mach does stipulate that 1-9,

Thanks Dave and Marius!
Dave so this is different than table travel from stepconf axis config?:
MIN_LIMIT = -1000 - The minimum limit (soft limit) for axis motion, in
machine units. When this limit is exceeded, the controller aborts axis
motion.
MAX_LIMIT = 1000 - The maximum limit (soft limit)

Typically a mill like machine has the machine home up for Z. This means
that Z travel goes from 0 to -something. Standing in front of the

This feels like it should be moderately easy, but needs someone who

Not only is the error cumulative but is it regular, measure a large
number of points all in one direction for as long a distance as
possible.
then graph the error v distance
you should then see a pattern emerging
scale error will be a slope
screw error could be a wavy line
you can also get a
