Patches

Z axis raise fix

In v2.8.2, zUp was consolidated into a single function as it previously existed as 3, depending on usage. Unfortunately, a jog command was used. This meant that when attempting to start line streaming at the start of a file, if the machine was still lifting the Z axis, GRBL would report error 9. This meant that when starting a job, the success of the job was actually dependent on the position of the Z axis when the green button was pressed.

Spindle RPM display fix

Analogue spindles now display the correct RPM on the speed control widget, instead of the calculated value we send to GRBL.

Z datum reminder dismiss

The reminder popup to re-set one’s z datum was still coming up after probing using the new probing screen. This has been fixed.

Overload 100% error fix

Spindle overload was being reported as 100% in some cases while the spindle was off, before reverting to 0 when the spindle starts. This has now been fixed

System info crash patched

System info screen was causing crashes on consoles not connected to a ZH. Fixed.
