Is there a way to turn the Maslow 4 off and on again, even the next day,
without having to retract and extend the straps each time? Doesn’t it
remember your last location?
No there is not (currently), It does not remember it’s location when it’s turned
off, and even if it did, there isn’t any way for the maslow to be sure that the
motors haven’t moved while it’s turned off.

My first post in a while …
Trying to figure out what the latest stable firmware is for Maslow4. I have not located anything in the forums that lists this (but I likely am not searching in the correct place or in the correct way - see my wife for examples)
I have not updated the firmware as yet - I got it assembled but have not powered it up. I will likely power it up and search around a bit.
Many thanks, in advance!
PS - My Maslow4 arrived with FluidNC v0.72 (Maslow-Main-996b2ffa-dirty) … the -dirty ending does not sound like a stable release. Do I need to worry about this?
there is a new version released (almost) every wednesday. The current version is
0.78.1 released last week (no new release this week)
on the webpage Source — Maslow
there is a link to GitHub - BarbourSmith/FluidNC: The next generation of motion control firmware and on the right
there is a link ‘releases’ that takes you to
Releases · BarbourSmith/FluidNC · GitHub where you can download the
latest files

I read about a couple of issues with 0.78.1 … corrupt yaml file … but it was only a couple of reports.
For context … how many people are running the latest and greatest?
Is it recommended to keep up to the latest firmware since I am still setting up and not planning on carving anything right away.
at the time of release, every new version has fewer known bugs than the prior
version. There are no new bugs known in 0.78.1 (there were some in 0.78)
If you run an older version and have any problems, the first thing you will be
asked to do is to upgrade to the current version.

Thank you @dlang. It’s obvious now … not so much when I was asking for some reason 
I installed version 0.78.1, after calibration, every time I press HOME the slide always stops in a different position.
Could it be that the command captions in the Maslow file… are off by one line?

I reinstalled 0.78, and if everything is blocked, the blue LED now flashes. Instead of the network Maslow still looks for Fluidnc

if you don’t want to use 0.78.1 go back to 0.77, 0.78 has known bugs, the wrong
SSID, it looks for the wrong .yaml file, and it doesn’t properly blink the IP
address with the blue light

It’s taking a toll on me, and to say I’ve had the Maslow and the M2 upgrade. Now I tried again with 0.77, but everything is blocked.
What do you mean by blocked?

I can’t connect because it stops here.
I believe you consider the site unsafe
please try posting the image again. I think you did not wait for the image to
finish uploading before you submitted the comment

Can you try posting the image again? It looks like the last one didn’t upload
well, it isn’t a secure site, it’s not encrypted, and connecting directly to the
maslow does not give you access to the Internet, so with some operating systems
you have to tell it that you really do mean to use this network.

I can’t connect anymore, it tells me the site is not secure. I tried with Android, with the laptop and with the PC, it always remains the same screen
please wait until the image you are trying to attach finishes uploading before you hit post
that way we can see the error
Ok, what is happening is that you are not pulling up the maslow page in a normal browser, the page is being pulled up as if it was a captive portal login at a hotel, and those windows aren’t fully functional.
open a normal browser window after you get to that point
I’ll try, but couldn’t it depend on Maslow? I’ve always done this to connect, and I tried with three different computers
