Z-probing and auto leveling

Hi,

I'm sure this is documented somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Has z-probing and auto z level compensation been implemented in Repetier firmware yet (for a cartesian printer)?

I have seen numerous threads suggested that it has been. And on the github site that it was going to be implemented a few months back.

Can anyone provide an update about this and where I may find information on it. Sorry if it is blatantly obvious somewhere, but I lack the skills to find it


Thanks,
Glenn

No, it is not that obvious. It is in contained in the development version on github. But you are not the first to ask, so I wrote a documentation for it. You find it here:

Great, thank you very much! Exactly what I was after.

Thank you.

I've got the development version from github. I did a test compile on the original and it compiles in Arduino IDE 1.0.5. As soon as I change DRIVE_SYSTEM from 3 to 0 then it will not compile and gives a "call of overloaded 'max(double, double)' is ambiguous" error. as shown in the attached .

Bad line:

p->distance = RMath::max(sqrt(xydist2 + axis_diff[Z_AXIS] * axis_diff[Z_AXIS]),fabs(axis_diff[E_AXIS]));

Error log:

motion.cpp: In static member function 'static void PrintLine::queueCartesianMove(uint8_t, uint8_t)':

Any idea what the cause of this is. Any suggestions to try?

Thanks.

That error was fixed an hour ago. Please use the latest version of printer.h and motion.cpp now available.
