I think I saw that yesterday, but I'm up to my butt in malfunctioning g-code ATM. Worse, I am the original author, but before I can really put this thing to work, I need to validate that it will run valid gcode, any of it, that I throw at it. But I just discovered that I need a string variable in a conditional statement. And linuxcnc does NOT have such a critter that I know of. I can make it work, but it will take about 20 more LOC, going the wrong direction in the LOC dept. I like to simplicate where I can. So no, I've not tried it yet. > I did the onetime programming thing to enable USB boot and I have a > recent bootcode.bin. And I suspect a lot of wasted time updating > everything else.

That bricked one of mine, worked on the other 2, fortunately I bought 3. :) Thanks Alan. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
