Thanks. take a look at it now and let me know if I got it right 
Yeah. I noticed that happened to me this morning. Something is going on with home.
the github page is close, but the tar command doesnât work as typedâŚ
the directions say make the directory, then go into it and get the gz file
the tar file says to go back one directory to find the gz file and untar it, so Iâd do this:
cd ~
mkdir webcontrol
cd webcontrol
wget https://github.com/madgrizzle/WebControl/releases/download/v0.920/webcontrol-0.920-rpi-singledirectory.tar.gz
tar -zxvf webcontrol-0.920-rpi-singledirectory.tar.gz
and rather than make the service file and copy it, Iâd make it in the correct location to start with:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/webcontrol.service
one other optional add is to install samba, so if you are using windows, you can just drop them in the gcode folder on the rpi and open them in webcontrol rather than upload and then open, they are already there and you just open the one you want. My gcode generator now puts them there automatically. It dawned on me that I could do this with the git repository location instead of trying to keep two separate copies (one on my laptop and one on the rpi in sync).
sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
(set mask to 775 or 777 for items in there)
add these items into the file at the end
[global]
netbios name = MaslowPi
server string = Maslow File Drop
workgroup = WORKGROUP
[MASLOW]
path = /home/pi/
comment = No comment
writeable=Yes
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
public=yes
[GCODE]
path = /home/pi/.WebControl/gcode
comment = No comment
writeable=Yes
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
public=yes
sudo smbpasswd -a pi
sudo service smbd restart
Fixed that⌠made it simpler as well (I think)
Iâll try that out.
Hey folks,
because I had destroyed my samba in the end after failing to make the raspberry a drag and drop drive in windows i finally reinstalled the Imagefile. With the help of orob (thanks @Orob ) I could manage to make everything work.
Today after plug the raspberry to the Maslow in the basement i imported the ground control.ini file and wanted to start cutting a project.
Quickly I realised that the Maslow is not moving correct any moreâŚ
When I say move right 10mm it drives a crazy path (diagonal right/down) and there is the warning
ALARM SLED NOT KEEPING UP
Also when I try to move the z axis the Maslow just moves in some directionâŚ
Just seems that if I send the signal to move it does not know where ârightâ ist
Did I missed something? Where this error comes from?
Hope to find a solution soonâŚwas just about to do some fronts for sound diffusors 
Try resetting the chain lengths.
You had it working in ground control and you took the groundcontrol.ini file and imported it to webcontrol?
It worked when I went from groundcontrol to webcontrol. If you are using the computer that had ground control on it, do a quick check comparing the settings transferred from groundcontrol to webcontrol, or reimport the groundcontrol.ini file. The last option would be to recalibrate with webcontrol.
Does red reticle (crosshair) on webcontrol display match where the sled is in reality?
@madgrizzle, you think it lost its absolute home position?
If the controller lost track of the chain lengths, the position it reports back to webcontrol could be different than where the sled really is. For example, it thinks both chain lengths are 1600 mm (so it says itâs centered horizontally) but in reality, the sled is way on the left side and chain lengths are actually 400, 2000⌠then when you tell it to move right, it computes how much chain to feed out from the left side and how much to reel in from the right side. But itâs not the correct amount considering where the sled actually is so the sled doesnât move right, it moves down and to the right because too much chain is let out from the left side (when on the left side of frame, less chain needs to be let out to move to the right⌠so the sled drops to drop due to excess chain being let out)

Thanks for your input!
While I tried to set the sprockets vertical i found out that the left sprocket did. move close to 360 deg when I send the order to move 1 deg!!
In the end it turned out something with the cable-connection was wrong!
After unplugging and plug-in again it worked again!
