there is a small description in the source code: 'compute_screw_comp()' is responsible for calculating backlash and lead screw error compensation. (Leadscrew error compensation is a more sophisticated version that includes backlash comp.) It uses the velocity in emcmotStatus->joint_vel_

Hello All, I'm having a bit of an issue with some geometry not coming out as expected. I suspect it's related to backlash and cutting forces moving the table a bit but I don't have linear scales to monitor/correct for that sort of thing so I'm left wondering a bit. I was hoping that being a
