This release greatly improves communication speed on the RS-485 bus thanks to integrating v0.0.7 of the RS-485 library. It also includes tuned drive controls for tape movement, including:

  • Incorporates "ease-in" tape movement that prevents sudden jerky movement that can cause parts in plastic tape to jump out.
  • Tuned for small feed distances, tested as small as 1mm movement increments
  • Large feed distance methodology has changed, moving in 4mm increments to keep film and tape in sync instead of trying to feed in one movement
