– changed default servo angle to match m2.5 & m3
– added timeout check
– added SPI.h include (thanks, pkm!)
– fixed BADCHECKSUM (when checksum=13 misinterpreted as line ending)
– fixed weird movement on drawing start (uninitialized tool offsets)
– fixed GetNewRobotUID() (was failing because of new SSL cert)NOTE: if your machine has been saying “Makelangelo #0 connected” before now… write down your settings! They will go kaboom when the machine number is finally set.
Great! Now that works! Thanks!!!
I just felt that it was somehow connected to the line breaks!
Now no more stalls! Also no exceptions thrown in the system command prompt window.
And the log actually looks better
But now we have no line breaks in drawbot initial report. That’s very small, though )
I see SPI.h only(?) in ams1 but rumba also needs it.
And may I suggest (at least an option) to move log window above/below etch-a-sketch controls to have full height picture preview? Something like repetier host layout. Good for wide monitors, and they’re all wide now…
Trying it now. Seems a lot cleaner on the output window.

GetNewRobotUID
So they get IDs from your site?
Mine got #613 and #615, I was expecting something like #1 and #2 🙂#614 here 🙂 It worked! 100% completed no problems.
You mean they keep IDs after firmware update? This is great!
I expected #1 and #2 because I got this idea wrong at first. I thought it would be some local numbers of those connected to my PC. But you did it the global way
humm it doesn’t seem to want to save my machine settings for Machine H and W and Paper H and W and pully width

Just checked in #45, it alters the layout as pkm suggested.
Thank you! Looks much better to me! And even more convenient.
It actually stores machine settings, I altered them in the previous version and voila they’re here 🙂
Very useful!i-make-robots
Here’s an interesting thing. I installed both java32 and java64 on Win64. When I try to run from windows explorer, start32 won’t work, and start64 starts the program. And it’s vise versa when I run them from Total Commander, start32 works.But it’s worse when only java32 is installed on Win64. Then it runs only from Total Commander, but not everyone has it or can guess to run from it. I even might remember that I had downloaded your software before and just could not start it 🙂
I guess this is because Explorer is 64bit app, and Tcmd is 32bit. So the system reports corresponding java paths to them.
I just looked at it. Here’s new start32.bat file, please check on Windows 32bit. Works for me on Windows 64bit 🙂

About the Makelangelo map. I bet everyone would love to see it. Can you put it somewhere on your website?
My settings don’t save. I put in these settings:

actruncale – just to be clear…
– you connect to the machine
– confirm title says “makelangelo # (not zero)”
– change settings & save
– disconnect and quit
– start again and connect
– open settings
– values wrongcorrect?
Correct
I do some testing from time to time, got two days before my ams1 shield arrives.
Some results and notes:I enter HELP to the command line and push Enter – no answer from the robot.
CONFIG works though.
Also Send button won’t work, but Enter does.Looks like X and Y buttons mixed on the jog panel.
You could arrange them Repetier style, now there’s enough height available.
I see that for some reason machine returns X and Y in cm instead of entered mm in G-code. A bit confusing.
M3 correct. Where are the settings being stored? Where do the default settings of 600 600 150 170 get put in the machine, JAVA or DRIVER file?
Is there a way to store the settings as a text file or somewhere locally (if this isn’t done already)?

I think “HELP;” has been replaced with M100? I’ll have to check. So much to do!
Oh, it’s really M100
I wonder how the settings are read from the board. Because what I see after connection established is the command to the board to update its configuration, i.e.:
CONFIG T30.0 B-30.0 L-40.0 R40.0 I1 J-1
D01 L3.0 R3.0
G92 X0 Y0 Z0and the response
-40.00,30.00 – 40.00,-30.00Looks like the settings are read and then stored to eeprom on every connection?
So moving to a new PC is losing the settings? Then cloud it is
