LinuxCNC Backslash problem

Hi !

i'm trying to adjust the Bacslash in my file.ini

i dont understand how to do it, i dont have the bacslash line in the .ini

and if i do the configuration proposed in this tutorial :


As in this video, i m short .0035 at .5 but my x scale = 133.3333

How do i adjust this? if i do this 147.3333, nothing changes.

Thanks in advance.

Please add .ini file of your machine

Add
BACKLASH = .0035


TO THE AXIS section.

When checking scale go in the same direction so backlash isn't a factor

Before addressing backlash you must have the actual movement matching the commanded movement. What I would do it to run pncconf or stepconf and create a new machine making sure all of the values entered for each axis are correct. This is just so you can get the scale number that was created with known correct entries in the config program. Then you can delete the new machine. Use the new scale number in your ini file and test the actual movement. If it is off then tweak the scale number and retest. Repeat as needed until it is right. Once that is set you can move on to the backlash setting.
To test the back lash. Move the axis in the positive direction. Zero the indicator and then move in the negative direction and note the difference in the actual distance compared to the commanded distance. Put that number in the backlash ini setting and test again. I tested mine in both the positive followed by negative and negative followed by positive. Keep tweaking the ini setting by bumping the number up and down and retesting until you can’t make any improvement in the error.
