XY Stage backlash at 8 microns
Just ran up some tests with a calibrated slide on the XY platform. Supposedly identical motors and drivers on both stages. The X axis is running at about 9,000 steps/mm and the Y at 21,000 steps/mm. The X needs a bit more anti-backlash, as the backlash is measuring in at about 8 microns. Still, not too shabby. I'll add more rubber bands and duct tape...
