I just checked here again and it will not let me set teh softlimits beyond teh Max travel values specified in teh INI.

V2.2.4



Just a thought. (;-) TP

This is good to know, I set my limits many updates back and they havent changed with new updates............

I reset the machine today and it wouldnt take the x0y0g0 command to go to the preset center position, error message was that it would exceed the max travel limits of the machine. This post came to mind so I reset it back to 2.0 and still had the same problem, I tried several versions and still had the problem, I finally reinstalled the 2.2.4 and it started working again with the extended limits?? I dont know whats going on or why it would change?
I have the job done so I am going into the .ini file to see if I can just modify those lines to read the same as soft limits are set to.

I also have trouble with the probe settings, I remove the probe, install the shorting jumper and still get the "probe trip error" at the beginning of a program for no reason, that one is irritating too..........

I guess it is typical software updates, fix a problem or two and create a couple more that you didnt have before??

With my machine working well with the new extended limits on 2.2.4, I'm nervous to update the software with the latest release 2.3.6. Anyone else with extended travel limits update software with no ill effect (losing the extended limits)?

I am going to go back to 2.1.6, that one worked fine. The newer versions cause a probe trip error that stops the program at random times.
I do not have the noise suppressors installed so that may be causing the trip at the start and mid program problems.
I also had the problem of travel limits with it, I went back to 2.2.4 because of it.
I did modify the .ini file max travel limits for x and y to read what I had set the limits (2.3.6) to in the earlier versions.

At times I have a problem copying files from the files to the main page, the "copy to" button just isnt there to copy files to the main page, this only happens sporadically?? A reboot fixes it, the new version has a button in the line below the files window that will let me copy files without rebooting PP.

I did like the adjustable limits on feedrate and spindle being increased to 200%.

All in all though I really like PathPilot, it has never made an erroneous move machining a program except for the probing error that stops the program, couldnt say the same for Mach 3.........
