Hello folks,
Has anyone setup auto-squaring on the SLB yet? Tutorial please?
How to enable in grblHAL and re-upload firmware? Is this supported? Is there a firmware builder in gsender? On this note, can gsender be installed on an intel based PC with Linux Ubuntu as the OS? Is this the version labeled as RPi? Or is the RPi version of gsender only for RPi?
Thanks,
Tyler

You should be able to run gSender on Ubuntu on an Intel-based computer by using this file from their GitHub releases page: gSender-1.4.9-Linux-Intel-64Bit.AppImage
Thanks John,
I appriciate it! I’ll give it a go.
@wiremonkey According to the SLB manual, auto squaring is not supported yet. You may want to contact Sienci to see if that has changed.
Message sent, awaiting replay. There is a Y2 limit port, but…
According to this link, it’s doable with grblHAL.
@wiremonkey As I understand it - and no doubt, someone from Sienci will explain it better - grblHal is not the limitation. The SLB has the two Y drivers “twinned” so they cannot move independently. Sienci has plans to change that at some point.
Hi @wiremonkey, dual homing was tested during the SLB Beta, but has not yet been tested on the final released boards or been re-introduced in firmware. This was meant to be a feature instriduce by now but there has been many other requests for SLB that since launch we’ve just been trying to address the most requested items first as we slowly make our way down the list. I’m in the process of trying to work with Terje the maintainer of grblHAL to get the SLB into his firmware web builder but it’ll take some time. The good news is that it’s worked before and the hardware supports it, so it should be something that anyone can upgrade to once it’s ready to go
