    Ok I understand now, but I was worried as resting my board (using the button) looses all my settings, but I can see now after further investigation that the reset performed by the limit switches (soft presumably) is different and does not loose settings like the one performed by the button (hard reset presumably).

    This can be confirmed below where I boot the machine, set X TR 1000 then reset using the limit switch, then dump the settings and it is still 1000, then reset using the button and dump the settings and TR is default again

    So perhaps my question now is :

    How do you save settings / hardware profiles on the board ? I cant seem to find documentation on this, presumably there is EEPROM available on the chip.

     

    Thanks

    Yep that does it!

    I also see that you only need to set the Feed Rate this way i.e within a G1 command, once.Then you can execute G1 commands omitting the feed rate.

    I simply presumed that setting the Motor Feed Rate using $xfr1000 for example, set the feed rate there and then, like as if it was contained in a G1 command.

    But I see that it is in fact a maximum value parameter, not simply setting the feed rate for the step.

    thanks.
