As per the below investigation I have tuned and tested a more robust PINDA2 Offset Calibration.
PINDA2 Investigation
Test #2 (20th Jan 2018)
Moved PINDA2 Thermistor Cal to bed centre
Moved it closer to bed from 150um to 50um
bumped bed up 5C each cycle as it wasn’t heating PINDA2 to temp at current settings
Results from a cool of 35C start
Recv: D8 - Read/Write PINDA
Recv: cal_status=1
Recv: temp_pinda=35C temp_shift=0um

Test #3 (21st Jan 2018)
Moved PINDA2 Thermistor Cal to bed centre with measure in default firmware position.
Moved it closer to bed from 150um to 50um
bumped bed up 5C each cycle as it wasn’t heating PINDA2 to temp at current settings and toped at 115 for bed temp
Enabled 255 hotend for test
