Hi,
Yes I know how to use it, my issue is that it does not seem to work as it should...first of all in the INdI driver there is no option to set “in” or “out” and second for example, if I move the focuser 500 steps out, and the Backlash is set to 100 then I have only actually moved 400, but the 100 backlash steps are not counted in the actual position, not taken into account in the move, it will show that you have moved 500 steps, which is wrong, so at some point the figures shown in the stepper motor settings are going to be way out..and repeatability will not be possible without re setting everything...

And am I correct in thinking that is you set it to “in” then backlash compensation will only be used on the IN movement and NOT on the OUT movement...is that what you were saying...if so why, you bet backlash on every move, in or out when changing direction...?.
