Backlash compensation #102

Closed MockbaTheBorg closed 7 years ago

MockbaTheBorg commented 7 years ago

Sorry to ask this question as an issue, as it is not really.

I have a .28mm measured backlash on my X axis. Is there any means of adding backlash compensation to Candle? Maybe there is and I am missing it. If not it would be awesome to have it. Thanks a lot. Candle is by far the best sender for GRBL. Awesome piece of code.

Cheers, Marcelo.

Also ... I use Flatcam to make my PCBs, maybe the backlash could be fixed there?

Hello, backlash should be compensated in the firmware. As I know, still in development.

MockbaTheBorg commented 7 years ago

You mean on GRBL firmware right?

Denvi commented 7 years ago

Yes

MockbaTheBorg commented 7 years ago

Cool ... I will keep an eye on it (and write a preprocessor in the meantime).

Thanks a lot ... closing the issue.
