Is this update to be installed directly from either 1.0.9 or 1.2.1 firmware? Thanks.

Adding the ability to pop this out into a new window would be great. Currently it scales in size automatically when the browser window is resized. I like to watch the video while working.

NOTE: I am currently on v1.2.1, not a beta tester. Just posted here for consideration.

Hi @BManCan : you can upgrade from either version. But recommendation is go with 1.0.9 version. Thank you

I decided to do a fresh SD flash to v1.2.1, followed by the update to v1.3.0a1. The install went fine and reset the configuration for my X50 Woodworker.
So far everything is working as expected. I loaded several G code files and they processed properly and were selected as the current file.
I also configured my spindle using the default selection in the tools menu and was able to run the spindle in automatic speed control and also in manual speed override mode. I noticed that the default min speed for the VFD is configured as 6000rpm. This min speed works okay for me as I am using the IOT output from the VFD (which enables around 5000rpm) to start the spindle cooling pump.

I have only ran a couple quick air carves so far with the v1.3.0a1 firmware, but so far so good.
Thanks for the update.

Wanted to start with Firmware. that was the most recent change.
Thanks, I will start with maintenance from beginning to end. I have less than 50 hours on the machine so I thought I would still have time to start with that.
Thanks
Again

Hi! I installed this firmware mostly to use my vfd router kit at its best and it definitely works amazingly.

Unfortunately I’m not able to control anymore the z-axis with my Onefinity “Wireless” Joystick. Anybody else is experiencing this issue?

Any advice? Thanks!

Hi @jlropes

Thanks for the feedback. Were you facing the same issue with other firmware versions? Please let me know detailed description of the issue along with the video for us to understand what is happening on your end.

I found a solution to this. You will need to use google chrome browser and install the plug in Picture-in-Picture any site.
Steps:

Click and drag the video file to the top of your browser to create a new tab.

  • This will create a tab with only the video file in it.
  • Next click on the plug in, This will give you a picture in picture window of only the video feed.

Hi @DEV_D No, it never happened before with other firmware versions.

As soon as possible I’ll prepare a video. In the meanwhile the explanation is quite easy: when I use the wireless controller, acting on the left pad I can move the machine left-right and backward-forward while acting on the right pad, that usually moves the machine up-down, nothing happen.

I hope it helps for now. Gianluca

@jlropes @DEV_D , he just needs to change modes on his joypad (assuming its purchased from us):

@OnefinityCNC thanks for your feedback.

Yes the joypad is the “official one” so I’ll do as you suggest and as soon as possible I’ll give an update.

Clicking and dragging to a new tab will work with any browser but the plug in is nice because you can do other work and keep an eye on your video feed.
