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? ---

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

I was on 0.96 before on the temp frame. I’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 don’t see your error, but sadly it isn’t able to load the sled position which sucks. That wasn’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. ---

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. ---

> [@Ambrose\_Coulliette](#): > > deleted the old 0.96 firmware I’ve seen ‘strange’ 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 ‘modules’ 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. ---

What you download of new version of GC and FW, put in a new folder. Don’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 doesn’t know what COM port to use and I don’t remember how to set that. Went to Github and tried to follow the instructions… the links are dead: [https://github.com/MaslowCNC/GroundControl](https://github.com/MaslowCNC/GroundControl) (look under “Documentation”) ---

open Ground Control, go to settings. Comport, select comport, open. I think - What OS is on the computer. I’ll do a step by step based on that. Thank you ---

Thanks. I fumbled around and found the settings I needed. It took almost 4 hours but I’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](https://www.ereplacementparts.com/adjustment-button-housing-p-160347.html)
