I think the filesystem is read only. You have to remount it to be read/write in order to save changes.
Be careful. Making the wrong changes could result in disaster.

Re: Touchscreen calibration
Can you adjust the resolution on the monitor to 1366x768? I'd am curious to see if that affects the touch position.
Be careful with modifications to the RPi linux. It would be wise to make a backup copy of the sd card before making changes.

Re: Touchscreen calibration
Have you tried adjusting the resolution of the monitor? My ASUS VT168H runs at 1366 x 768 resolution. You can also try adjusting the sweep frequency. Available options are usually 50hz and 60hz.

Re: Losing Z
Do you have any holding current set on your z-axis? If so, how much?

Re: Single Block
One of the really cool things about the Buildbotics CNC Controller is that we have published the Applications Programming Interface. As it turns out, I created a program called GCodeDebugger a while back and it provides the ability to set break points and step through the code. If you are interested...

Re: Seemingly Random Faults/Error during program that usually works
I don't see anything any problems in your schematic. Can you describe how your controller is powered? Also, are you using a local monitor or do you connect via a network, or both? What version of software are you running on your Buildbotcs Controller? Please list all of the devices that you have plu...

Re: Seemingly Random Faults/Error during program that usually works
In looking at your log, it appears that the error occurred right after the avr rebooted.One of the things that 2.0.4 changed was to prevent the controller from getting damaged if the usb bus is overloaded during bootup. We found that if the usb bus is overloaded during bootup, it causes the attiny t...
