Extruder E-Steps Calibration
I've recently completed a VCore 3.1 and I'm trying to go through some basic calibration steps and I'm new to RatOS/Mainsail. I tried entering the appropriate gcode commands to the console but they weren't recognized. How can I go about this calibration? Is there some other terminal/console available for direct gcode entry, or does RatOS/Mainsail have its own functions for extruder calibration?

If you only have a single printer it usually isn't worth the trouble as you will also need to do extrusion multiplier anyway and that will account for any small variation

Sounds good, but how about other general gcode terminal stuff? Is there a way to send direct gcode in RatOS/Mainsail?
Yeah just put it in the console section

When I tried an M92 command to see what my current E-steps are, the console told me: Unknown command: "M92" Am I doing something wrong?
