I'm just about to do some traveling and focus on work, so I figured I would post a couple of observations that I will not have time to properly document and/or test against the current git source. Sorry about that, but if I put it off any longer it will be a month or more. Some of these issues may have been addressed already, but they are apparent in v2.5.0 as distributed on the Ubuntu distribution.
test axis pane in stepconf wizard: There is a step/measurement scaling problem (looks to be exactly 2.0x) when testing the movement. To replicate, set up the axis as you would expect for your configuration. Have it run a test over some distance (say 1.0") while reading off on a dial indicator. The actual travel is twice what I expected. So, if I adjust to accommodate, save, and then open LCNC, the travel is actually half of what I expect. Thinking on this a bit, it might not be a bug per se but a misunderstanding of the expected behavior (is it +/-X movement [ie twice that specified], or simply traveling the specified X distance in the 1 or + directions). The problem with the expectation disconnect is that the motion is traveling back and forth so I would expect to specify the travel in a range, or from relative (0,0,0) to some distance. load/edit existing configuration in stepconf wizard: When I try this it does not let me actually load anything. It appears like it is looking for different file names or is looking in the wrong directory. The overall effect is that I cannot edit a configuration with the GUI, and either have to edit the files by hand or build a new configuration from scratch. Gecko G540 defaults not in line predefined requirements: There are a number of known predefined configuration parameters for the G540 which are not set up by default. These include: Each axis microstepping is hard coded as 10. pin-16 *must be* set to the charge pump, or you cannot turn on the charge pump. I'll post other observations and/or bugs as I get back to rebuilding the machine. Once again, I am sorry for not checking these against the latest repository source, but it will be weeks before I get a chance.
