The latest version works without modification.

Chris, if you have done something different, thank you,
If not I'm not sure what's going on but it works.

Jayson.

Yes I automatically wrap the Gcodes now. Your info was the clue I needed.

I just pushed a fix for metric conversion when using G21/G20 mode and the basic machine measurement didn't match.

I am still working out the spindle controls....

I pushed some changes to manual spindle control along the lines John was talking of...

I'll do a pull later today... is there more than one gscreen? I see you mention a custom gscreen sometimes.

Ok, thanks.

Chris,

I just tried out the spindle changes and it is still too confusing to me. For me the Spindle button seems to do nothing even though I know that enables the big plus and minus keys. Having to press Fwd then Start at nnnn then spindle then the plus or minus keys is confusing. I would assume that pressing Fwd would run the spindle at the current S speed and that pressing the Rev button would do just that run in reverse. After I get it running I'm lost as to what button stops the spindle. IMHO the preset button should pull up the number entry widget and really be separate from the axis functions on the right side of the screen. If the preset button just had Snnn and it changed to reflect the current S setting it would be clearer to me. If the Start at button just said Start and when running say Stop that would be clearer to me and IMHO much more intuitive to use.

One more little thing just crossed my mind that when you start up gscreen the first thing to show up should be the homing options.

THANKS for all your work on this Chris!

John
