Can someone do a video of the new BELT TUNER and how to use it?
I am using it and the machine says it does not need to be tuned, that is good.
When I measure the belts with the belt tunes phone app, the belts are not matching the recommended reasonances and now I am at a complete loss...
Following the new belt manual tuner resonance I am getting 92 and 86.

1. Square the gantry !
2. Tension the belts. Anything like 80Hz will be ok.
3. Test the square of the gantry: https://www.printables.com/model/1143218-vernier-skew-test
4. If the test result is positive, let the tension screws untouched. Otherwise shows the test, which screw to turn (slightly)
I does it this way, and I had/have still no problems with the belts.
I think the discussion on this topic has gotten heated.
The cause actually lies in the incorrect alignment of the gantry, because the mounting brackets are inaccurately bent (not exactly 90 degrees).

For the benefit of others, this was answered in a different thread. For comparing the strobed method to the "plucked" method, the position of the head has to be the same. When running the strobe tuner in alpha firmware, it moves the print head to the home positions and locks it there. When comparing to the previous method of plucking the belts and then measuring the frequency with the belt tuning app, the head has to be in the same position (home position) or the results will be different. A mistake some are doing is manually moving the head to the right front corner (255,0) which will give a different reading. I've verified by using the belt tuning wizard in firmware and comparing it to plucking the belts (with the head in the same positions) I get the same values for the upper and lower belt.

I know how to swuare the gantry.
I am looking for a demonstration on how to use the new belt tensioner process in the alpha FW.

I didn't find it particularly hard to figure out since I used the audio belt tuner to first get a reading and then setting the belt vibration frequency to the same and then turning the dial +/- 1 hz and seeing the effect, it's quite noticeable as a slow sine wave. But then even if you are off by 1 hz it really doesn't matter. My suggestion is that if you are still uncertain to maybe wait until the beta version is out and when proper documentation is available.
RE:
Using the new belt tuning stroboscop the stepper gives vibration on the belt. The strob lets the belt seemingly stand still. When turning the knob watch the belt and choose the setting, where the belt is most bent (highest amplitude), and then press confirm and do the next belt...
All is quiet easy when understood.
For everything else just follow the instructions on the screen and take a shot of the qr code that appears.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. The strobe is slightly out of sync, there is also only 0.5hz resolution. The belts don't stop but there is a slow oscillation when you are close the belt's resonant frequency. The QR code for now takes you the alpha release page. There are no detailed instructions available yet.
