    Compensate for skew axis

    I have a homebuilt CNC with an Ozito as the spindle. The controller is an Ebay purchase and runs like a charm.

    The problem I am experiencing is the X and Y are not square. Try what I may I cannot get it quite right. I looked through the EMC documentation but did not see (or perhaps understand) any way to compensate for the misalignment. I found the backlash compensate code and was hoping others could point me in the right direction.

    Cheers,

    Andrew

    on the EMC wiki is this:

    EMC Documentation Wiki: ContributedComponents

    it replace the trivial kinematics module with one that allows skew corrections.
    I have not used it nor know how. Hopefully it is easily figured out.
