I have recently had an Issue with the open builds UI. I have an x-box wireless controller connected using Bluetooth, using the Antimicro X controller interfacing with the UI via my created shortcuts. Controller suddenly failed, thought it was the 3rd party software, updated, restarted. No avail. Updated all drivers, restarted system, worked off the start for a brief period then quit. Un-installed the UI and re-installed. Same result. Also if I tried to open anything like the wizards and tools it would start a whole new UI while the old one was still open. None of the shortcuts would work and any macro commands would give unexpected results. In particular when calling for a G53 G0 Z-5.000 the z axis would rapidly drive itself into the waste board. Any help would be appreciated.
Delete all macros and try again, possibly one of them interfering with it Plenty of happy users: GitHub Release Stats so customizations / non standardness being first likely culprit Did you remember to Home (Correctly): G53 moves are in machine coordinates
Open up notepad (or similar) and see if one of the buttons on the xbox is stuck or issuing a bunch of keystrokes. Its a common problem.
that would be trying to move in inches instead of mm. G20 and G21 are modal commands, they are remembered until changed all macros must always set the modes they need, never assume the state of anything. so that macro should be G21 G90 G17 G52 G0 Z-5
Thank for the info David the swarfer, i up-dated the macros to reflect this. As far as my original problem, Thanks Peter Van Der Walt, for pointing me in the direction of the Macros being the potential issue. It seems that it might have been caused by Shortcut combinations, I used Shift+a within the macro. Openbuilds is fine with key combinations but I think the issue was with my 3rd party controller app AntimicroX. I bound a button on the controlled to the macro with the key combination. After further investigation it was discovered that everything worked like normal in Openbuilds fine until I pressed that key. Once i removed the key combination, everything is back to normal, so far. Thanks for all your help
