Simple Baby Stepping Question
-
Hi,
When adjusting baby stepping during a print, from the DWC or a PanelDue, when does it take effect?
Right away or does some printing move have to complete first?
Thanks.

@fcwilt, from what I have observed, at least the current move is finished. Sometimes it seems that more than a single move needs finishing and maybe multiple instructions go into the buffer at a time. It definitively is not executed immediately.

There is a bit of a delay, though it's less now than it once was. To let it take effect more quickly, you can increase the segmentation of long moves with M669 S and T values.

Thanks for the info.
Could you clarify what the bold words mean:
In RRF 3, segmentation is not used unless the S and/or T parameter is given. Segmenting moves is useful when faster pause response is wanted.

Segmenting moves
If you have a single long 100mm move, normally it would be queued as such and your pause (or baby step) would only take effect after that move has completed. By segmenting that move into smaller chunks of say 10mm, you are effectively able to "interrupt" that 100mm move sooner.
