So I just updated to 5.22 and to my surprise buttons on the VCP are now changed.

Spindle Clock wise, spindle counter clockwise and spin break are now gone.

I will figure it out but I don't understand why.

There are no changes to these buttons in 5.22.

Did you make a fresh intsall for the update?

Uwe

Yes I did a fresh install. I will get a screen shot tomorrow and run through all the steps again.

Regards,

not sure what you mean, did you use 'restore report' and put old stuff on a new build? or? tell us your steps you took to get to this position. photo/video would be very helpful. for what its worth, i haven't got any other reports about this type of issue

Keith,
I followed the instructions per the manual to install a fresh 5.22 install. I went back into the wizard and re entered all the data per the PDF created at the start of the process. I did install the new matching version of CHIPS and as I went to test the probe diameter I realized my spin break button was gone, see image.
After reading some notes online I found there are multiple default VCP skins, I found them in the wizard and got it restored with an older skin that included the spin break. Completed the CHIPS install and am up and running.

I do hope this helps.

PFM Dave

ok great, thanks for reporting back!

Today I updated the VCP users manual with information about new features.

<app> : how to launch a program with a VCP button

<background> : how to use a .jpg as a background image

edited the <run> section for better clarity

added a reference to color picker and as well as other minor tweaks to improve the doc.

here is the link. https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... manual.pdf

refresh your browser to get the latest version of the pdf with today's date.

Minor typo: in the section describing the <app> option, you have "VC{" where you wanted "VCP".

right on, thanks,fixed. its miserable doing an auto spell check on that doc with all the .xml code examples.

These new functions in the VCP to launch external Apps are cool, thank you.
