I owe ya at least one, Thanks a bunch, installed, along with 250 megs of
other stuff, carefully skipping the kernels offered. ;-)
Now I have another quibble. My xy nuts are wearing at a high rate it seems,
and is forcing me to add about a thou of backlash comp occasionally. Up to
around 5 thou for x now.
Problem: backlash comp seems to be recalculated assuming the motors are
sitting in the center of the deadband the lash causes. But when homing the
axis, we are always looking for the center, 0 point when rehoming it after a
restart. The end result is that I cannot set the 0 position to zero as the
lash comp makes sure I am actually off the mark by half the comp setting.
One possible solution: Remember which way the zero point was approached from
last, and home it so that side of the lash setting is the new '0.0000'
point. Now, when restarting on a 90% finished project, I have to start the
run, see which side of he part is being shaved this time, and try to rehome
it to put it closer by moving it till axis says its about a thou in the
direction it needs to move and re-homing it. I have had it actually move
the wrong direction by enough to mark up the work pretty good.
Could this possibly be part of 2.3.6?
