Homing cycle button missing.

[wlaw]

Testing out version 1.0.6 it seems the homing button is missing at least on mine.

I can still call $H from the command line.

Thanks for the Great work @gerritv

Mmn, it is there on my copy. It doesn't show up until you connect to Grbl. It will then be Red until you Unlock.

[wlaw]

I went back to 1.0.3 and it showed up again. When I switched to 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 it did not show up. I get the unlock button, but no home.

[gerritv]

Puzzling, what OS are you running on?

[wlaw]

7 Home Premium. If connect it don't show. [image: Inline image 1]

If i go into settings, and get get grbl settings.. [image: Inline image 2] Then return

[image: Inline image 3]

Its back.

So, it looks like something to do this the initial read of the grbl settings.

once i get the settings, it shows up.

Connect on load don't help.

Can you post the output of the Help/About/Details/Assemblies list?

[wlaw]

Here you are

[gerritv]

What is your screen resolution? I have built a Win7 machine, tested ok so far but the .Net files are all from 2010. Waiting to update then will verify again as the current .Net files are much newer.

[gerritv]

finished updating, still can't reproduce this :-( What is your screen resolution, perhaps that is related.

[wlaw]

Sorry for the delay, got a bit busy! 1280 x 1024 is my screen resolution. That hasn't changes since i have had this computer.

Thanks for helping

[wlaw]

Well, I can get the home button to show up every now and again but nothing permanent. As I explained before it works fine on the 4th release, release 5 no joy.

[gerritv]

Can you try the current version? Code is now on .Net 4.5.2

[wlaw]

Just a thought about this.

I did try the new version and Net 4.5.2 Still not loading.

What if you were to load grbl settings on open or connect.. "If i go into settings, and get get grbl settings.."

Is that easy to do or no.

[gerritv]

Good plan, I will look into it.

[gerritv]

I checked the code, I load ($$) the settings on Connect. Only if $22=1 then the Home button gets enabled. Can you disable polling, enable Verbose and let me know if you see the $xx settings scroll by?

[wlaw]

Started the program V 1.0.8.0 and connected. [image: Inline image 1] Go To Settings [image: Inline image 2] Press: Get Grbl Settings [image: Inline image 3] Back to main screen [image: Inline image 4]

So disabled polling, enabled Verbose closed and restarted Version 9. I did not see the $$ but as soon as I entered the $$ in command prompt the homing button showed up.

This is not a problem for me as I know how to use the $H $X and all of the commands. Just more puzzling. I keep thinking its my computer, shield or UNO but when I load older versions it works great.

How do I transfer my Macros

[gerritv]

I am not seeing your screen shots. Can you email them to me? I really want to slay this one for you Re: moving the macros, I would open both versions of GrblPanel and copy/paste into the new one? Editing the .config file directly is problematic due to the embedded vbCr/vbLf in the macros.

[wlaw]

OK, So after upgrade to Windows 10, my home button is back.

[gerritv]

Glad that is finally resolved.
