PandaPlacer Machine Configuration - Z Height Adjustment

[Brian Piccioni]

I spent the day trying to calibrate/configure my PandaPlacer CC1.

Unfortunately there is no documentation for the calibration of the CC1 so I tried to follow the A1 documentation here https://docs.pandaplacer.com/pandaplacer-a1/configuration/02-machine-adjustment/#2-manual-testing-and-recording

The instructions suggest I basically touch the tip of the nozzle to the PCB, record the value and adjust the G Code. The thing is, the G Code in the example is 

G1 Z1.5; Move Z to middle height(==Adjust if needed==)

whereas the actual G Code is 

;G1 Z14; Move Z to middle height(==Adjust if needed==)

Which I think means the line is commented out.

The instructions show what to do to adjust the parameter but in my case the parameter is missing so I don't know what to do. If I assume the default is zero and my nozzle touches at -23.4 should I use G1 Z23.4   ?

How do I test to confirm this is the right value?

Also if somebody could direct me to a resource which shows step by step configuration of the nozzles and nozzle tips, preferably for the PandaPlacer I would appreciate it. I am completely new to OpenPnP and the documentation appears to assume a detailed knowledge of things. 

 

Thanks.
