Hello Team,
Just recently updated from 1.10 to 1.25.
All functions are running like a charm, only issue is the cursor on my ground cotrol is not keeping up with the speed of the sled. I have looked everywhere for a fix …nothing to be found.
Is there a setting in ground control to speed up the cursor?
(i have already re-calibrated with the cursor lagging 
)
Thanks in advance…
P.S. I have attached my current project 
Jumping this amount of releases could have caused this. I would do a ‘clean start’ with 1.25, meaning wiping the eeprom, deleting or renaming the groundcontrol.ini and start again. I would not put much trust in a calibration with a lagging cursor. Did you check the log.txt from the GC folder if there is some clue there?
the update was incremental… in one sitting though!!,
I am able to run other programs correctly(currently testing ) but i will try the wipe if all else fails
The g-code looks fine in camotics and currently running it in fake mode, but not expecting to find a fault in those cool wings. Hope to get to see the cut project soon.
I also am on either version 1.10 or slightly older (it was the “most stable” back when it was released). I figure everything has been running fine for me so why break it. Doesn’t seem like anything monumental has come out since then (please correct me if I’m wrong). Was there a reason why you updated?
Are there instructions on how exactly to do this? I’m a little rusty since I haven’t messed with this in a year.
I NEED MY 1.10 BACK!! 
Could not find it in the wiki.
There is a built in ‘wipe eeprom’ in GC, reached with Actions → Advanced.
Fighting with a bug in in fake GC 1.25 mode today, that wipe did not work for me and i used one that i’ve downloaded from an arduino forum. That worked for me. wipe-eepom.zip (824 Bytes)
The groundcontrol.ini should be in your user folder. I rename it, and GC will create a new one, but with all values set to default. I edit the main settings in the new .ini like motor-distance etc. with the values that i know and can read out of the old .ini. I hope that gives GC a better start for improved calibration restults.
im still in “re-CAL” mode… on attempt number eleventeen,
I been able to… wipe, reload, re-mesure numerous times no problems.
But still the cursor in ground control, will not keep up with the sled… I have no Idea at this point.
it has to be a glitch in ground control.
Im just short of a factory restore to 4 months ago!!
Hi @Nigel851
Let’s try to collect a little more info -
What OS are you on? What version?
What PC are you using ? Make ? Model?
Where are you located?
What controller shield do you have?
do you have a stock Z Axis?
I’d like to see if we can come up with a correlation on what is happening for you.
Thank you
Hello Bee,
First off Thanks for Everything !!! (MASLOW=GREATEST THING EVER)
I have spent most of the past 24 hours re calibrating, cutting the test pattern, and so forth…
I am seriously stumped as to why this is occurring!
Thank you for your time

I think I might see the problem - Display Color 262,144 (6bits/color)
The 6 bit color adaptor it probably not got a very current display driver. In fact I bet it was written in Windows 98 days.
My guess is this is a Vista wrapper driver wedged into Windows 7 and it is having a hard time communicating with modern software framework. The 6 bits have to be calculated for each pixel, most likely an 8 bit routine then re-interrupted taking extra time.
Do you have another Computer you can test with?
Thank you
Thanks for the quick response…
I am currently working on setting up the following:
https://www.winmate.com.tw/TabletPC/TabletPCSpec.asp?Prod=13_0184
This unit will run Win 7 Ultimate 64Bit + I will have a Virtual WIN 10 64 bit As well for testing.
I will try and do a complete new setup with this unit and hope
to have some results later on in the week.
Please advise, what is your recommendations on setting up
the maslow on a new PC ??
Good Morning Team,
Spent most of the night…and it all back up and running, I ended using a new PC.
I did a cycle jog up to 20% and everything seems to be running normally.
No deviation between sled and Ground Control cursor.
I will try running it later on today.
Thanks for all the support!!
Keep up the great work

My associate who ordered these wings is a professional wood burner, so I will update once it’s completed!
Thanks again Team!
Wow, that with a stock z-axis and not even a ring/linkage kit on triangular kinematics?? Impressive!
Yes This generation 1 Maslow seems to be indestructible! I have no need for the newer “bell’s n whistles” for now…
I have run multiple projects with no issues what so ever!!!
BTW… the reason for updating the software, still unknown!!!
You are a great case for if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
Keep making sawdust and don’t be on fire.
Seriously good work!
Thank you
