Hey @momfertje am I reading the output right that the manual step override was enabled, but that calibration happened automatically as well? That seems wrong.

momfertje commented 2 years ago

NO, not the case.

I went using manual step override, to see what happened AFTER a manual initiated calibration. Works as might be expected:

This seems logical, because if someone is initiating calibration the purpose is to get a good working TT. So using the value from the calibration OVER the defined value makes sense.

May be a remark in the calibration section?

peteGSX commented 2 years ago

Ah yes! I went through that but I didn't think to capture that in documentation. Will do so, good call!

Add some clarification to the configuration options page: https://dcc-ex.com/turntable-ex/configure.html#full-step-count
