Firmware 0.88 and belts tension

Hello, I have problems with the firmware 0.88 on the Malow4, I launched the calibration a first time and after a minute the machine went out of the grid. The second time I turned it off. Each time the straps come out of their reels.



A spool emptied completely before rewinding backwards, it probably didn’t stop.

Is there a code for “extend all” without “retract all”? Otherwise I either have to retract and crush the belt again or disassemble to put it back in place.

There are codes to control individual belts (put them in comply, extend or
retract them a specific amount), they are not commonly used, I would have to do
some digging in the source code to find them.

The way to do this is with commands like $BLO or $BLI for bottom left in or out, but be very careful. They’re hidden for a reason which is that they disable all the safety features and give that motor full power not matter what.

To get to the text box where you enter the command you look here:
