Centering the print field on the object #26

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I am able to roughly center a golf ball in my Egg-bot by moving the pen arm 
back and forth and watching the clearance between the pen tip and the ball 
surface.

It would be helpful to command the pen to move back and forth between the edges 
of the print field. The pen then would stop exactly in the center.

How would the pen know where center is?

So far as we know, there is not a software-only way to perform centering in 
either axis.  We will mark this issue as closed in the near future unless 
specific recommendations can be made as to the method.
