Req way to force close into the negative on the percent open #46

Open markm75 opened 2 years ago

It would be really ideal to have a way to do this.. every once in awhile this happens.. a way to force close the shutter when it stutters and loses position due to a stutter/slip on closing..

IE: it closes, stutters, then stops 3/4 of the way down, because it thinks its at 0% open (or vice versa it goes up all the way but is now at 90%) A simple way to override the close button to keep going into the negative would be ideal. In this example -10% would be fully closed.

This would definitely be useful, especially for those of us who suffer frequently from the shutter disconnect issues.

My thinking is the feedback position is only used for adjusting the shutter opening / closing speed.

e.g. Drive the shutter in a given direction -> When approach 95/5% open/close slow down the shutter speed, stop when the open/shutter magnet triggers. Reset the close and open step position to 0 at close or upper limit at open.
