    pp 2.0 Rapid Turn won't execute G1

    Running PP 2.0.0, Rapid Turn won't execute G1 in either MDI or program control. Not even with the g-code from Rapid Turn's test program. Yes, spindle is rotating and feed is on. Please don't tell me I have to reload 2.0.0

    Thanks

    That version of PathPilot is over 2 years old as well as the very first release of v2. I think you'll be happier with something more recent that has bugs fixed and new features. A PathPilot update only takes a few minutes to download and install. I suspect your Millfast goodies will still work. Most of the USB interface gizmos emulate the PathPilot keyboard shortcuts Esc for stop, Alt-R for cycle-start, space bar for feedhold, etc.

    FWIW, there's a terse release note about a RapidTurn issue fixed in v2.0.1. Install the most recent version (v2.4.3 at the moment) and see what happens. V2.0.0 should have the ADMIN SETTINGS BACKUP MDI command. Copy the .zip file it creates to a USB stick before the update in case something bad happens. That .zip file will have the tool table and machine settings in it. You're on your own to backup any G code or other files on the controller to a USB stick.

    Good advice, thanks.
    This afternoon I installed the current version of PP and all is well. My entire program executes without any issues.
