OpenArm calibration and homing guide

Calibration errors usually become expensive only after teams have already started collecting demos or running repeated bringup sequences.

Pre-run checklist
  • Confirm homing stateMake calibration status part of every startup note.
  • Track tool changesEven small hardware changes can invalidate assumptions.
  • Use the same orderRepeatable sequencing reduces false debugging branches.
What to log
  • Joint offsets and visible drift
  • Tool and fixture changes
  • Any new failure after transport or maintenance
