I should have thought this through before posting :( So the step-to-step error appears to remain constant, thus while it is +/- 5% or +/-0.045 degrees for a 400 step motor, it does not reduce with mic

This is something I've wondered about. I found this interesting article on the subject that I thought I would share with the group: https://www.applied-motion.com/news/2015/10/stepper-motor-accuracy I

I'll answer my own question. I just learned from Howard, that the LED on state is controlled in the SWS Extended.config.h file. Just tying off this loose end in the thread.

Howard. I simply cross connected TXW and RXW. So that needs to be changed on the schematic. Also, I found a software bug. The WIFI connect LED you added to the design is solid off when connected. This

Ok we are all good. Download now works!

I switched TX/RX over, but still no joy! Nothing is coming back. I was thinking I could by a USB/TTL converter and direct solder to the ESP32 WROOM pins.

Can it be programmed through the T4.1?

The pioneers and the ones with arrows in their backs!

Hmm, looks like the Tx and the 2102 is connected to the Tx on the ESP32. Not swapped over, so should connect to Rx, right? Does howard know about this I wonder?

I guess I'm not getting back any data.

Something is wrong with the serial communication. Its keeps timing out.

Thank you Dave, you are right. What a lengthy download process!!

Ok I found ESP32 2.0.6 using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

I'm running version Arduino 1.8.16. The ESP32 version number only goes up to 1.0.6

Got my boards yesterday. I downloaded the latest SWS 2.05h and installed version ESP32 1.0.6, Board type selected "ESP32 Dev Module" I'm unable to download the code, trimming out. Sketch uses 941386 b

Uploading the Firmware First, download the current Smart Web Server source code: Download from https://github.com/hjd1964/SmartHandController/tree/main then unzip the contents in a folder named SmartW

I'm having trouble recording a PEC curve that cancels out my periodic error. As you can see below the PE measured by PHD2 Log Viewer shows a pure sine wave with an amplitude of about 16 arcsec peak to

I have it up and running. Looks like index detection is about +/- 0.5s. Wondering what the significance it in the distance between the red and purples lines? What does it mean if board versus narrow d
