Greetings all; I see in Documentation.pdf at about page 375 its mentioned that if a comp file is used. then backlash is ignored. That seems a bit odd, until one realizes that COMP in this case is being used to correct for possible non-linearities in THAT screw. That detail could be clarified, but I've no suggestions how.
What I am doing in the Sheldon, is compensating X based on Z position, so that it turns relatively straight in spite of a few thou of bed wear. IOW a different critter entirely. It also took several days to measure with a rifle bore sighting laser since it turned out to be temperature sensitive. For final readings I loosened the foot ball joint and left it loose for several days before snugging it back up. That seemed to have helped stabilize the measured error.
