Hey all,
I tried to calibrate my maslow a couple of times but when finished the same error always occurs:
When GC is connecting to the controller it is shutting down.
When the maslow is not connected it is working fine. When I erase the Groundcontrol.ini file in my user file it is editing a new ini file and GC is working for new calibration process and some test cuttings (maybe 3). Then it starts crashing all the time.
I am Using GC 1.26 and also the firmware with 1.26
OS is windows (i tried multiple computers)
It is so frustrating being just about to start to get some jobs done with the Maslow, and then, after some test cutting it is not working anymore.
Here is my log file:
Connected on port COM3
PCB v1.2 Detected
Grbl v1.00

Sry for the long post. I hope you can help me.
I have already gone through some posts here in the forum.
thanks in advance.
