Improving FarmBot accuracy

Thanks Ascend I read the thread and will run the sequence and check the motor coordinates, scaled encoder. And see whats, what. I’ll try the find home sequence between seeding but I agree it’s a bit of a hack.

I agree that end stops won’t help if steps are being missed in normal operation. They may help however to ensure the home position is more accurate each time you calibrate rather than crashing into the belt holders and relying on the encoders in order to home, I notice the motors sound like they spin a bit when that happens.

I would like to try end stops out, I have bought some after starting this thread End-stops vs Encoders. I will continue the conversation on how to install end stops on that thread, it’s a better place to put that info.
