I'm sure I can calculate how much off the the DRO is from actual movement and get the OUTPUT_SCALE right, I was just thinking that the X and Y axis is off by a factor of 5, that maybe I was missing something. >>>bidirectional lead screw compensation<<< What is this? >>>Having gears between the

Gentlemen, To be truthful with you I don't bother calculating an encoder count very accurate. I just want to get it close so I can put an indicator on the slide and adjust the count so the joint moves as close to the commanded move as I can get it. I then use the bidirectional lead screw compensa

I solved this problem, now I can home the the motor. Now i would like to control the motor with PID. The problem is, that when i set some maximum value to bldc.value input, the motor does not accelerate, but stays still (the motor winding are powered). If i print the bldc.rotor-angle and bldc.p
