Re: utf-8 error during upload from Fusion360
I noticed that the Mach3 post processor uses a different "formatComment" function. The Mach3 version uses the JavaScript String object, while mine did not. I just replaced my formatComment function with the one in the Mach3 post processor. I'm not an expert in JavaScript, but apparently the String o...

Re: utf-8 error during upload from Fusion360

Please let me know whether you can get it and whether it worked.

Re: utf-8 error during upload from Fusion360
Sorry, I don't really understand what you are saying. At what point does the system try to export the tool name?

Re: MDI input with direct BB connection
Using video is really pretty easy. Just plug a MJPEG USB video camera into one of the USB ports and video will appear on up to four displays (including the local display) simultaneously. Note - several improvements were made to video performance in software version 0.4.13. BTW, the local monitor is ...

Re: End stop kills setup.
Try selecting a slower speed on the game controller. Speed is controlled using the four buttons ("X", "Y", "B") and "A") just above and to the right of the right joystick on the game pad.

Re: Custom GCode to offset tool height on Tool Change
Nice work. My only suggestion would be to insert an M70 at the beginning of the program to save the machine state and M72 at the end of the program to restore the original state after the probing sequence is completed.

Re: Unable to upload gcode
He Mick, I had Joe take a look at this and he found that the Controller cannot correctly handle files with a # or a ? in the file name. He has proposed to replace these characters with a - in the next release. He also found that if a file is removed outside the standard user interface, it will cause...

Re: Unable to upload gcode
I sent a link to the 0.4.12 file to your e-mail address along with instructions on how to load it. Please let me know whether this has any affect.
