After understand how the optical calibration works, now it rocks! I was able to calibrate all the nozzle, with a different setup of the video processing effect and slighly changing the vision table (I didn't use the alternate function, so I inserted smaller diameters).

It uses the smallest circle that fits in the size limits. Hence, if I understand correctly, i.e. I need to target the inner hole of the largest nozzles because it will be the smallest circle visible. Instead I was trying to get the actual nozzle shape. The colors: If closest and smallest circle are...

I'll see about limiting the jogging movement. Internally, it is done by "move to this direction until stop command", so it might be a bit tricky. Perhaps it's worth to check the limits before accept the jogging command? I've just downloaded and compiled the software, I'm going to play a b...

Thanks! Still it's not clear to me how the calibration works. Which circle has to meet the radius constraints? If I take a "measure" it selects the smaller one (in the log window). Does the calibration routine do the same? Last question: what's the meaning of the color in the camera window...

Hi! I'm trying to run the nozzle calibration but it always says "can't see nozzle - nozzle calibration failed". Surely I'm not correctly processing the images. But I need some hints to understand what the machine needs to see. Here a screen shot without any filter, and then the filters loa...

Hi! Especially during setup and calibration it could happen to jog the machine outside the allowed limits. You pressed the wrong key or because staring at the cam you didn't aware where the nozzle was. The software actually allows you to jog there! Then once the limit switch is hit you have to reset...

Now I understand my mistake. You actually said to "press the reset button" but I understood the button in the software ("clear err") instead of the physical button on the TinyG! My fault!

Hi! I've read through the documentation without find an answer. I'm checking the limit swithes wiring as suggested: After activating a tick box, manually trip the switch. You should see blinking red light at TinyG and get a message from the control program. Press reset button and re-establish connec...

Oh, no problem at all! It works fine in this way.
It was just to understand whether I did something wrong

The bolts should point inside the machine. Please see the second picture on this page, it shows how (and why). http://www.liteplacer.com/finishing-step-11-belting-y/ Perhaps I didn't understand your answer or I didn't explained it well. I attach a picture of how I mounted the bolts. http://i63.tiny...
