Hi,

Am I right in saying that you are now fully functional?? Do hope so, these software niggles are a pain in the derriere!!

Incidentally I have the UCCNC logo which is defined in the .ssf file.

Sounds as though the screen routines are set to look for the wrong file name (i.e defaultscreenset.ssf not Stepcraftscreenset.ssf). I'll bet its an omission in a text file somewhere - perhaps I'll have a look around and see if I can locate it.

Regards,

Peter.

There is no problem, however simple, that cannot be made more complicated by thinking about it.

Found it!!!!

Right at the beginning of the profile file is the following:-

"[Screensetsettings]
mainscreenfilename=Defaultscreenset <<<<<<<<<<<< THE CULPRIT!!!!!!
splashscreen=0
[axessettingscontrolX]
Axisenabled=True
Stepportnumber=1
Steppinnumber=2
Steppinnegate=False
Dirpinnumber=3"

etc. etc

Ahhh, Peter, thanks for that!

I had that problem also long time ago when changed from the original Stepcraft version to the version from CNCDRIVE.
I accepted the CNCDRIVE logo from that time on 🙂

Anyway some time ago I started modifying the screen, removed the logo and placed one of the checkboxes from one of the configuration pages there. It took a while to understand how it works and I'm sure meanwhile I have forgotten how to :dry:
But any re-configuration is possible if you like to have a personel screen 🙂

Thanks,
Yes, it is up and running now. It runs from the default profile now where I made all the necessary settings.
The only files I've copied are some macro to find tool height and the 3 defined positioning button.
But, it runs fine and I can also confirm that it runs much more smooth. Less CPU load and so far no issues at all. (with the previous one I had to restart sometime because the response time was big).
While I copied all settings, I also found an option to stop at tool change. Before I've tried to dig into the gcode and find out how to make the machine stop at tool change and did not understand why it does not work. Because UCCNC ignored them by settings.
So, there is benefit too in the reconfiguration 🙂
Regards,
JG
