Hey Frédéric!
Yes - that´s a vital point. I suggest to keep the counter-screws (?) tightened - and not to move the head by hand.
I check that frequently - and have no problems regarding precision any more.
best to you, Klaus

I don't have a Merlin, but maybe one can confirm how far can you turn the head manually, before the encoder starts to rotate. You have to do this test in both directions.

The very moment you move one of the head´s axis the encoders rotate. There´s no visible dead-time: it´s fixed at the gear´s axis.
Generally the precision seems to be very sufficient - it´s covered by the overlap of 25/30% anyway.
I use a 300mm sometimes - very narrow steps in portrait-mode. No problems so far.
best, Klaus

Just got my first N800 and managed to install Papywizard.
The only thing I did not find in hurry, where do I have to copy the plugin on the N800 ?
I just read the documentation and I guess I found it /home/user/.config/papywizard2/plugins

Can you also send me the logs when it fails (for both cases)?

The additional LF may cause some problems. Is it possible for you to only send CR?
