Auto-Squaring with LinuxCNC v 2.8

[Kitwn]

Clive,
Well, yes it does say that but before this update I always used stepconf to make minor adjustments having never got my head round the inner workings. I was always careful to use the 'update existing file' option. Keeping safe copies of software before making changes is part of my DNA so it was only the mechanical effects I was worried about.

I'm sure I'm not the only user of LinuxCNC who is more interested in cutting wood than learning the intricacies of it's file editting, and I say that as someone with several years experience of designing and building assorted projects involving some quite complex Arduino code (never got as far as writing all of anything in C++ though).

Anyway we're all back to normal now with everything squared up again. Altering the homing squaring doesn't need alterations to the software, just a tweak of the microadjustable switch actuator shown here:
