Why isn't Repetier firmware using my height setting?

[dbarrans]

I just installed Repetier firmware today (the one John posted at seemecnc.com) and configured my Z height to 360 as described in both the video and John's writeup. Then I see Repetier Host shows me Z=362 after homing. Ok, maybe the EEPROM says something different. It doesn't appear to, but I saved it anyway. Then I quit Repetier Host, turned off the printer, and unplugged the USB cable. Plugged in the USB cable, turned on the printer, started Repetier Host, and connected. After homing, it still tells me Z is 362.

Huh? What did I miss?

What does M114 tell you?

did you change your rephost z height printer settings also?

[dbarrans]

Duh. That was it. Rhost was telling me 362 because that's how I configured it.

rephost should take the z height reading off of the firmware in my opinion, I wonder why it doesnt? or why they dont implement it.

None of the hosts do.
They all accumulate errors while jogging when all they need to do is issue an M114 and parse out the position, they already do this for temperature.
No idea why....
