Differences from RC3

- Fixed a development induced bug (a bug not in v5.08) related to new features being developed Probe Protection for v5.1 that affected G code moves (caused jerky action) reported by Sword. (Probe Protection can now be activated based on a Tool number. When a Touch Probe defined has a Tool number the Probe Protection features are activated when that Tool number is loaded in CNC12).

- Fixed Wizard Axis Pairing reversing one of the paired motors if Write Settings was not completed, reported by Sword.

- Plasma Intercon: Fixed development bugs where a lead-in/out from a Circle Frame/Arc would be incorrect

- Added a Centroid API call "RefreshGraph" which will refresh either the rtg or regular graph screens

- All Centroid CNC controller boards now require a Power Cycle after a Hardware Firmware change has been made (for instance when installing a new version of CNC12 or switching from Mill to Lathe CNC12). Messaging has been added to let the user know to power cycle the Acorn/AcornSix/Hickory board after a Firmware Change and then restart CNC12.

All Centroid CNC controller boards now require a Power Cycle after a Hardware Firmware change has been made (for instance when installing a new version of CNC12 or switching from Mill to Lathe CNC12).

Are there now board firmware (presumably mpu*.hex) differences between mill software and lathe software?

hello.
nope!

Risked it for the biscuit, RC4 is working good so far.

great thanks for posting the photo, always nice to see what you've been working on.
RC5 is in the works should have it out here soon. and hopefully that will be it for v5.1!
