Re: Software release 18/06/2021 ** most recent **

Re: Release candidate for new software version, 20.05.2021

Re: OpenPNP vs LitePlacer update

I am looking to improve the placement accuracy and OpenPnP supports a range of feeders that LitePlacer currently does not without modifying the source.

I am hoping to achieve better accuracy with the bottom camera functional...

Re: Speed of placement

Re: Unable to home

It may be that the optical home mark needs to be moved closer to where the Liteplacer expects to find it.
