GC 1.06 error code

Software
1

I just uploaded the new firmware(1.06) and am trying to get going on the stock frame I just put together but I get following error on GC

Please set$12 $13 $19 and $20 to load old position data

Any insights?

While that error will show in the log when you first start, I believe GC should automatically fix everything when it fully boots up. If you restart GC are you still seeing the same error?

It comes up for every movement I try

What version were you upgrading from? And I assume you have upgraded both GC and FW (not trying to be insultingā€¦ just making certain).

I was on 0.96 before on the temp frame. Iā€™v got 1.06 on both GC and the firmware.

Oops. I had the old version of firmware buried in my arduino libraries. I had thrown up all kinds of flags when it first uploaded but dd complete upload. Deleted old folder re-upload and seems fine. Thanks for the time madgizzle

Hmm, I just tried this. I donā€™t see your error, but sadly it isnā€™t able to load the sled position which sucks. That wasnā€™t my intention, let me see if I can figure out how to fix that.

Bummer, this is not a simple bug. Something rather complex is occurring that is preventing the old position data from being loaded.

Worked fine after I deleted the old 0.96 firmware from my libraries and reformatted the mega

Good to hear.

The idea is that we should be able to save your sled position data. We seem to be writing to the EEPROM somehow in a manner I was not expecting, still trying to track that down.

Iā€™ve seen ā€˜strangeā€™ things while I was extracting the new firmware over the current one, some time back.
If I remember correctly, it was something in the line, that obsolete ā€˜modulesā€™ did not get deleted and the Arduion IDE would force them into the upload. I started renaming the FW and GC folder by version number. Since I extract the new zip into a clean folder, it never happened again.

Iā€™m having the same problem too but cannot seem to find what needs to be deleted to make the error go away.

What you download of new version of GC and FW, put in a new folder. Donā€™t over right pre existing ones.
If you want a clean start, delete the groundcontrol.ini from your home folder and use wipe eeprom from the advanced menu in GC.

I deleted the .ini file and wiped the eeprom in Groundcontrol. Now Groundcontrol doesnā€™t know what COM port to use and I donā€™t remember how to set that. Went to Github and tried to follow the instructionsā€¦ the links are dead: https://github.com/MaslowCNC/GroundControl
(look under ā€œDocumentationā€)

open Ground Control, go to settings. Comport, select comport, open.

I think -

What OS is on the computer. Iā€™ll do a step by step based on that.

Thank you

OK totally wrong on my part, Open Ground Control, Actions. Right side update list, Comport - select, hit connect.

Thanks. I fumbled around and found the settings I needed.
It took almost 4 hours but Iā€™m just about up and running again - turns out my Adjustment Button Housing is likely bad for some reason: https://www.ereplacementparts.com/adjustment-button-housing-p-160347.html
