OpenBuilds CONTROL Software

I

I also have disappearing macros

 

I don't even have the little box with the + sign to add a new macro. The screen is completely blank.

 

Is anybody else not getting any response from keyboard shortcuts on the latest version?

 

Ummmmm

Where did all of my MACROS go?

 

Confirmed - same on my Windows box (I haven't let the linux box update yet).

I can't say across the board (I can't actually use most of the shortcuts anyhow, since I don't have a grbl box hooked up to this PC), but I'm not seeing any response from the step size or incremental/continuous buttons.

This isn't entirely new, though. While the jog arrows themselves seem reliable, I've noticed that a lot of the other jog-related keys seem a little flaky as to when they will or won't work. I'd been holding off reporting it in hopes that I could come up with a reliable repro, but never quite managed to.

I installed the previous version of the software (got it on GitHub) and my macros came back (WHEW)......

 

Peter,

I love the work that you do for this software it is BADASS! I recommend it to everyone I know that uses a CNC router.

Is it possible to turn off the auto update feature, can that be added?

I know i have the option of saying no when it asks however I would prefer to have the option of it not checking altogether.

I have a smoothie board running one of my machines and it only talks to version 150 and the update feature is a little annoying for that version.

Thanks again for all that you do!

 

Nope

I think you can probably flip back a few weeks and find the discussion (or a large part of it) if you're interested in the details, but allowing (or at least encouraging) users to spread out over an assortment of versions is fundamentally at odds with their view of the software & how they support it.

I understand a lot of the reasons (and even agree with a few of them), but as a user - and particularly a user during the software's teething period - I was definitely disappointed.

I was actually thrilled (no exaggeration - I was pleased beyond emoji) to see that the "No" option actually works now, since last I heard, even that looked like it might well be impossible (or at least too impractical to implement). Go Peter!

Oof. Yeah. That one's firmly in the "I'ma gonna update youz whetha youz likes it or not*!' phase, isn't it?

Im not getting anything not even from up, down, left or right arrows if that's that you mean. Or are you talking about the arrows in the GUI?

 

Everything seems to be working again in the new release! I was only able to monkey with it for a bit before sleepy time. Only thing I saw was jog function was not working in mobile wizard. All the other buttons seem to work on mobile though but I have spotty service where my machine is though so could very well be that.

Thanks for the quick fixes!

 

Peter,
Thanks for the timely reply, as usual you are on point, thanks for the firewall tip ref the smoothie board!

 

I haven't downloaded the new revision yet but since you said it's fixed, I'm sure it's fixed. I'm glad my detail helped find it and also very glad that it wasn't operator error this time.

Edit: Downloaded the newest version and I LIKE the new macro buttons!! I can read them from a distance now.

 

Thanks for including custom probe capability!

v1.0.226 incremental jog not working on control screen, continuous works on both control screen and probe screen.

 

Yes, dawned on me that that was the problem. Some days are better than others. I did edit the post afterwards and noted that the incremental jogging function stopped working (v1.0.226). Continuous jog works in both control screen and probe pop-up.

 

Windows tablet PC touch screen, no mouse or keyboard. Has worked fine up to this point.

 

226 updated and none of my jog controls work on my touchscreen - home works .....

jobs will not run either.....

Now my Windows 7 machine same issue.... no jog controls working.

Laptop does not have touchscreen

There must be an issue with 226

rolling back to 224 -- should have looked for this before posting, sorry.

incremental & continuous jog ok on touchscreen (Fusion 5 win 10) - macro buttons too

 

Just gave it a run, to test mobile widget. Incremental jog seems to be working fine. Continuous throws a limit error for me every time. (homing with Soft limits enabled, Iphone, tried chrome and safari browsers) Also, choosing "yes" for full screen does not change anything vs without.

 

Machine homed correctly. It’s almost like it is sending a “double tap” with each tap. The double tap with mouse commands on the computer throw the same error.
