Hey Smoothie Fans,

we build a delta printer with a Smoothieboard V1.0b. Delta calibration with G32 ist working fine. 
But we got a Problem with the Delta Grind Compensation. If we want to start the compensation we always  got "No strategy found to handle G31" after sending G31 with Pronterface. 

Could someone help?

try upgrading both firmware and config to the very latest version

Many thanks for the fast response.

How could I get the newest config version? I thought I got already the newest one.

What is the advantage of the grind compensation? Why is it in detail better than the Delta calibration?

calibration and grid compensation are two totally different things. You must calibrate first then optionally use grid compensation if your physical build is inaccurate.

Hi DeltaBuilder - have you been able to resolve your issue?

I got the same message when using Macpronterface(03Feb2015).
While Delta Calibration with G29 works, G31 returns the same massage.

I tried to run it right after G29 with SD Card unmounted from my MAC.

I tried latest stable & edge & 626Pilot's Smoothieware build & adapted the config. 
So far without success :/

Hi Mario,

I solved the problem. Flashing firmware was successful and the calibration is working fine.

you have to remove the # to delta strategy in your new configuration file
