Q for @DC42 and Chris Hammacher

@Danal Nice, now how about using a proper language? (...while I go hide under my desk:)
Actually, I'm open to anything that's pre-installed on the Pi (and the Duet image, in particular), that leans even a little bit toward scripting.
What would you suggest?
-
Nice work @Danal !

OK, switched to round hole. At this moment, hacked into the corner of the bed; for production would be more nicely integrated along an edge somewhere.
Also got the script working consistently. Based on 4 back-back runs, repeatability seems to be about 0.09mm in Z and 0.02 in X and Y. These are probably better than any hand method, and usable for printing. At the same time, I'd like for them to be even more consistent and may tweak a few things.

@Danal .09mm in Z repeatability seems rather high, and I would expect that to be much lower than the xy repeatability. Any thoughts as to why this is?

Yeah, I was concerned about that as well. Not sure.
I need to literally "look" at the printer while this runs. Or single steps. With a dial gauge or similar.
And/or, even at feedrate F100, I may back off slightly and retouch at an even lower feedrate.
-
Also, I've cleaned up a bunch of things, and published this all on github.
And... started a new thread. So Dave and Chris don't have to see the title of this one keep popping up!

Just for the sake of completeness: there does not yet exist an official python library to the DuetAPI (but it is on the roadmap - next I think). There exists of course the C#.NET library that e.g.
CodeConsoleis built upon as well as my Go library (https://github.com/wilriker/goduetapiclient).And this wraps up that there is no current (full) client library for any scripting language. Thus great job at getting started @Danal!
