Ground Control Version 0.94

An excellent fix this week from @blurfl who tracked down a tricky bug with the help of @gero. The issue was that a lines with multiple spaces between characters were not processed correctly. Now any extra spaces are removed automatically by Ground Control 👍 👍

#434 Gobble space runs

Ground Control Version 0.93

Most of the changes this week were over on the firmware side. On the Ground Control @designfrontier renamed z-in to lower and z-out to raise to improve readability of the interface on the zaxis popup from the front page. Thank you!

#433 Renames the z-in and z-out buttons in the popup

Ground Control Version 0.92

This week's Ground Control version adjusts the PID values to work with phenomenal changes in the v0.92 firmware and added a firmware version check which will display a warning if the firmware and Ground Control versions do not match

Ground Control Version 0.91

Not a huge number of changes this week, but some important ones. Ground Control will launch full screen again this week and there is a new advanced setting option to control how the PID controller operates

Merged #426 Enable User Setting of Proportional on Error/Measurement Ratio
Merged #427 Maximize GC on launch

Ground Control Version 0.90

This week's Ground Control version adds a switch to the step 7 of the calibration process to let you enable the z-axis, formats the XYZ position readout so that the numbers won't move around to the left and right as the values change, and allows the program to run not maximized. All excellent community suggestions.

Have a great week everyone!

Ground Control Version 0.89

This week's Ground Control release adds:

-Enabling the escape button to exit from menus
-Writing the Ground Control version to the log files
-Update the hold button to say "continue" when the machine is paused (under all circumstances)
-Clean up on the ability to use keyboard shortcuts when entering values in the distance to move or z-axis popup

Have a great week everyone!

Ground Control Version 0.88

Version 0.88 of Ground Control improves the way settings are pushed to the machine, fixes a typo in the calibration instructions, and adds support for using the keyboard to enter the distance to move.

Have a great week everyone!

Ground Control Version 0.87

No changes to Ground Control this week, but there were changes on the firmware side so this release just keeps the version numbers consistent.

Ground Control Version 0.86

This week's version of Ground Control adds a new menu which can be brought up by clicking and holding (or a long touch on touch screens) anywhere on the gcode canvas.

The new menu gives us the option of having location specific options like "move to the clicked location", or "place a marker here", more ideas for location specific features are welcome!

Ground Control Version 0.85

We were seeing issues with the kinematics being unable to load the machine's position.

The issue was that if the machine tried to load it's position from memory before it had been told the specs for the motors it would load an incorrect position, then save incorrect chain lengths to memory. The next time the position was loaded from memory it would be wrong and the machine would try to compute a new position from the incorrect chain lengths and fail

This update will fix that issue when pared with Firmware version 0.85
