Frame Size and Calibration

Troubleshooting
1

Afternoon,

I built the default frame in the assembly guide and I’m at the stage to calibrate the machine now but I am running into errors.

The default frame is 8’4" x 10’ which is roughly 2500mm x 3000mm.

If I use those dimensions and save and extend all, the cables reach the anchor points. But when I begin calibration, the cables tighten, the system stops, and I get this error:

MEG:ERR: Center point deviation over 100mm, your coordinate system is not accurate, adjust your frame dimensions and restart.

The assembly guide uses 2000mm by 3000mm so I threw those numbers in and when I ‘extend all’ one of the cables was too short to reach.

I’m a little confused as to where my error could be. 2000mm seems off by a few feet for the height, but in the assembly guide that doesn’t appear to be an issue. The motor shuts off when I finish extending all the cables, so I’m 99% certain that it’s not a case of not fully extending. (I just double checked that I installed the arms in the correct order as well)

Thanks!

I would suggest trying a slightly larger starting size for your frame. 8’4" x 10’ is more precisely 2540 x 3048 mm. Try that and if it doesn’t work, try adding another 40 mm to each dimension.

I added 40mm to each and got a more specific instruction to make the dimensions smaller. So I reduced the base dimensions by 40mm and it appears to be working now.

Thanks!
