You the man!!  Thankyou very much!! Tried it and it worked like a charm.  If you can make a Go Fund My Bar Tab account I'll be happy to help fund it! (and I'm sure others will too). It may make a nice outing for your whole crew. Just put a little quiet icon in the corner somewhere and let us know where it is.

That's an interesting idea - I'm unsure how that would work for tax purposes. A long time ago, when I started my first company, ez-robot, we had a "donate" option. It was to let ppl donate towards the software development. Because hardware sales don't really support the commitment to software development of new features. However, I had to remove it because of some tax implications of being a for-profit corporation. I'd have to look into how the go-fund-me system works and such. But it would be a good idea if the funds were to go toward activities. Or even the ability for community members to purchase new features. Maybe that's a good direction to go. Allow people to fund new features.

Tried calibrating this week and have a slight hiccup. When you send the command for calibrate it does start rotating and it stops when pin 6 is grounded, that part is very good. The thing is that it rotates very slowly 1rev per 2 seconds. I have tried to change Calibration_Steps to many different values but it still rotates very slowly. I am using a 10-1 gearbox and about 20k steps per axis for high accuracy so I need it to move about 2500/sec for typical calibrating. Looked over the Javascript code but I don't see the problem. It's been defined but it seems to be defaulting back to about 100 steps/sec. If you try it you'll see the same thing. Didn't notice it before because it was on my experimental bench with no gearbox, it was moving-but slowly.
