V.1.0.2

I'm getting the indication for an upgrade to v.1.0.2 but nothing happens when I click the upgrade button. I'm sure I'm missing something here. Could someone fill me on where I'm going wrong? I'm pretty sure V.1.0.0 went in without a hitch.

Thanks

Re: Control 'Un-homing' itself

Hey Alex, it sounds like we have similar situations. I have a shop with 'spoty' wifi. I have the recommended antenna and I still have problems maintaining a connection. I'm using a cheap internet switch connected between my laptop and the controller's internet port (and no connection to my router). ...

Re: MillRight CNC Mega V XL

So are any of you Mega V owners using it as a plasma cutter? If so, how well does it cut?

Gcode not being updated after a save

I'm running into an issue with my settings not being updated after a save every time. Here's an example. I made the change that is circled and saved. Then ran the gcode and I get the error in the second figure. I tried saving several times with no improvement. Then I restarted the controller and I w...

Re: How does probing work?

Hey Alex, my situation is nowhere near as complicated as yours but I did want to be able zero off the material or machine bed whenever I needed to. I'm learning gcode just like you but I started with Doug's code and added a few lines that seem to get the job done. All the code below assumes I'm zero...

Re: Static IP address for wifi and ethernet

I was afraid you were going to say that. I've got an older router and it doesn't support that capablility. I've got lot's of cameras and 2 NVRs on the network and I'd rather not take the time right now configuring a new router. I'll keep it in mind when I replace the router. Thanks for the reply. r

Re: feed (speed) over ride

I'll vote for this feature also. Of all the things I miss most about using Mach 3 is this ability. It comes in handy when making your first pass over a rough surface and you need to slow down for the random irregularities.

Static IP address for wifi and ethernet

Is there a way to set a static IP address for both wifi and ethernet ports? My wifi is really slow in my shop and I've setup a switch between my laptop and BB controller to use when I can't get things to update through wifi. The ethernet address seems to stay the same (169.254.162.169) since I've se...

Re: Version 1.0.0 Released

Another little problem... when I opened by gcode job, the code didn't display but my test macro button code showed in it's place.

The file name is correct, it cuts correctly but no 3d simulation.
