Writing because I did not have any problems with calibration. Downloaded 1.13 fresh index and yaml. Ran calibration in only maybe 5 minutes.
comment 1 is that the default test grid 3x3 400 x400 still falls off the top of a standard piece of 4x8 plywood.
Comment 2 belts go a little slack inside the machine as calibration starts Picture attached Seems like an easy place for fouling. Is it possible to maintain a little tiny bit of tension on the slack belts when starting calibration?
Running test cut now with no blades. First time machine actually doing things. Seems to be good Taking notes for future instruction manual. Temperature only a few degrees above freezing. hard to type.
This seems wrong, do you have a copy of the logs you can post?

not currently. Remember that at the beginning of calibration, the system has no idea what the frame looks like, and it has no sensors to measure belt tension. So it needs to feed out some belt so that it can be sure of being able to pull belts in.
the only feedback that it has is the encoder, the ‘current limit’ is actually just keeping track of how high the duty cycle is that’s fed to the motor (4096 being 100% on) with this duty cycle being set by the PID loop
nothing is happening. jogging also seems not to do anything. will turn it on and off again. done for today. Will set it all up again on thursday or friday
x1 (B): 4166.1 ± 3.9 mm
x2 (C): 4141.9 ± 10.0 mm, y2 (C): 2519.4 ± 15.9 mm
x3 (E): -4.8 ± 3.6 mm, y3 (E): 2501.8 ± 10.3 mm
with two points being outliers
if you included the outliers in the calculations, you get
x1 (B): 4165.0 ± 4.8 mm
x2 (C): 4139.4 ± 12.0 mm, y2 (C): 2523.5 ± 18.9 mm
x3 (E): -2.5 ± 4.4 mm, y3 (E): 2508.2 ± 12.5 mm
at what point did it stop responding?
try power cycling and see if that then makes it able to release tension. (with the new code, it should remember where it is after a restart)
pushed all of the buttons finally seemed to release tension. I had pushed the play button and then the stop buttons again. When I pulled on the belts they released some. I tried to apply tension again but now it says it doesn’t know where it is and that I would have to start over with retracting and extending. It has been on and went from ready to cut but no jogging to this. I think I don’t understand something about cycling the machine between manual control and running it. The encoders have been on and attached the whole time.
Something similar happens to me to from time to time, won’t jog, won’t release or apply tension… I seemingly can upload a file, but on reload you realize it was not actually uploaded.
I found that closing the current tab and open a new one works, have you tried it?
Stop button stops the machine, it stops all motors (sometimes), not reliable. I would suggest you get a button to shut off power if disaster is looming. Pressing stop will mean you have to retract extend apply tension in order for the machine to know where it is.
