Re: CNC12 v5.1 RC7 (which is build #17806) went up last night with these fixes and improvements
Down in the rabbit hole again messing with settings..... :D The new Util button on the VCP is nice, but I changed it so that the StressTest is located in the cncm/system folder, because /ncfiles is for me a working folder with only the currently used files.

Re: Pro vs Ultimate, MPG questions...
Yes the only difference. Sender is the same, receiver is not, and from my experience they work much better than the cheap stuff on Linux or Mach. My POV is they make money with selling things, but we as customers on the other side are pleased with free updates in short time and have not to go on wit...
