Another noob question:
Does Smoothieware have an equivalent to Mesh Bed Leveling (on Marlin) - is Delta Grid Compensation same as Mesh Bed Leveling in Marlin or auto bed leveling?
We have both 3-point bed levelling and mesh ( grid, also called delta grid in smoothie ) levelling yes. See http://smoothieware.org/zprobe

@Arthur_Wolf thanks. Mesh bed leveling compensates for irregularities in the bed by simply raising or lowering Z at the current XY point, using a simple averaging of the slopes in X and Y, multiplied by the relative position within the underlying grid square.
In contrast to MBL, the grid and 3-point leveling systems tilt the entire coordinate system.
Does delta grid compensation work like mesh leveling, or grid leveling.

OK - on further reading it seems that it’s more like mesh bed leveling. But seems kind of inconvenient for Cartesian systems. I guess will come to know more once I try.
3-point tilts the platform, grid adjusts Z based on an average of slopes. Both are useful, even on cartesians.
one is used on flat beds the other on non-flat beds.
