Is anyone else having an issue where the rotary turns off in software if you let it sit for a few minutes without using it? The box stays on but sometimes when I go to carve the controller has it switched off without me telling it to. It’s happening every time I use it now so I assume it’s a bug, once I turn it back on it works perfectly, but will turn itself off again if it sits for a few minutes again. ---

Update, it turns off every time I upload a new file, right when the open file dialogue box dissapears ---

Seems to be crashing a lot too, which isn’t fun when you are on the 4th step of a 4 step carve. I’m noticing the rotary will shut off on carve start as well sometimes. On another note, if anybody from onefinity sees this, can you set it up to where when the rotary fails a Z Probe due to the height of the model you have loaded, you can cancel it and restart it instead of having it go straight to the XY since the blade is up against the probe block when it does that?
