Backlash compensation is a must have!

[SuperUserG]

A must-have feature for hobby machines is "backlash compensation". I was sold on the Buildbotics controller, its a really awesome product, but I'm really starting to wonder if I should stick with mach3 for the backlash compensation especially since there are no future plans to add this in the software.

If there were any future plans to add this, I would pull the trigger and buy a Buildbotics system and I'm sure you would gain more interest and defiantly increase sales.

We hope to add that capability in the future, but we do not have the work scheduled.

Thank you for the quick reply, let's get the feature scheduled. Who do I need to yell at to get it done LOL?

I couldn't agree more! I think adding features like this would really help the BB control be more widely adopted.

I have an older TAIG 4 axis mill with lead screws and lack of this feature stopped me from ordering the Buildbotics controller. Count me in when it becomes available.

I was about to buy Buildbotics for my Sherline because I love the all-in-one nature of it, but backlash compensation appears to be a must-have for leadscrew machines. Oh well...
