Re: Control 'Un-homing' itself

I haven't seen this issue. It would be great if you can figure out how to reproduce the problem and send me the sequence of events. I'd also be interested in which browser you are using on your laptop. Finally, if you go to the SETTINGS->ADMIN page, you can generate a bug report. The bug report is a...

Re: Static IP address for wifi and ethernet

The IP address is assigned by your network router. Most network routers allow you to assign a static IP address to a particular MAC address. Once you do that, It should always be the same.

Re: Trouble Upgrading Firmware to v1.0.0

It is likely that the network connection is not strong enough to move the large file without errors. Is it possible to connect the controller to a hardwired ethernet connection. If not, is it possible to move closer to your wifi source?

Re: Backlash compensation is a must have!

We hope to add that capability in the future, but we do not have the work scheduled.

Re: Trouble Upgrading Firmware to v1.0.0

It should complete in less than 5 minutes. Just reboot your controller and try it again.

Re: Keyboard on touchscreen

The old keyboard had some incompatibilities with the new software. The most glaring problem was that the new gcode editor would not work with the old keyboard. In addition, the old keyboard was integrated with the browser rather then the OS. We believe that having the keyboard integrated with the OS...

Re: Circle cutting problem

I looked at the kit you purchased on line and it comes with ball screws and nuts with backlash compensation so I doubt that is a source of backlash. If a motor coupler is loose, it could result in a problem like you described. You may also want to check that no other hardware is loose on your machin...
