[OpenArm] Homing offset drift after power cycle for builders integrators (intermediate)

OpenArm troubleshooting thread: [OpenArm] Homing offset drift after power cycle for builders integrators (intermediate). Practical checks, likely root causes, and...

Some OpenArm teams only notice a calibration problem after a power cycle: the arm boots, homes, and looks normal, but end-effector repeatability has quietly shifted.

How are you diagnosing homing offset drift after power cycles on OpenArm?

Please share how you compare startup poses, verify encoder zero consistency, and decide whether the issue is acceptable drift, a mechanical slip, or a recalibration event.

If you reply, include one exact post-boot symptom and one exact check that confirmed the source of the drift.

    The most useful replies will say how drift was measured instead of only saying the arm felt off after restart.

    If you use a fixed pose or fixture after every boot, share that workflow. It is highly reusable.

    Searchers often need to know when recalibration is required versus when logging the offset is enough.
