Can you show me some examples in Javascript of how to Setashome for V21? Can you also show me some examples in Javascript of how to Calibrate V22?

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.
