[Koduvana]

Hi,
Did anyone meet the problem that on UCR201 USB Wireless jog pendant after some pause MPG Step button does not wake up. Other buttons "sleep" not met. After pushing emergency stop all is OK again until some brake.

Yes, and if I can recall, it was fixed in the plugin version 1.8 which was released in UCCNC development version 1.2114. What is your UCCNC and UCR201 plugin version?

Thank you!
It will be my first update - what folders/files I have to save for getting all settings back what I had already?
How it has to be updated - old uninstall and after new release installing or it understands that it is update and goes automatically?

How to update UCCNC

The method depends on how you use the program and how much did you change. The installer is designed to overwrite all the files that are in the installer. You may uncheck the option to overwrite the default profiles, but that is only a part of the problem. Let's see how to use and update UCCNC the right way.

All the settings are in the profile files. They are in the Profiles directory. The best practice is to use your own profile, not the built-in profiles (Default.pro and Plasma.pro). The installer will overwrite only the built-in profiles, so if you have your own then it will not be changed. If you use one of the default profiles then it's time to use your own. Let's say your new profile will be "MyCNC" and the old is the "Default". Go to the Profiles directory and copy your current profile (Default.pro) to MyCNC.pro. Create a new directory with the name starting with "Macro_" and ending with your new profile name (Macro_MyCNC now). Copy the contents of the old macro directory (Macro_Default) to the new (Macro_MyCNC). Your new profile is ready and will not be overwritten by the installer.

There's only one more thing to do: create a new shortcut to start UCCNC with the new profile. Create a new shortcut on the desktop and browse for UCCNC.exe then give it a name like "MyCNC". Right-click on the new shortcut and select Properties. Move the cursor after UCCNC.exe, write a space, /p, space and the name of the new profile: "C:\UCCNC\UCCNC.exe /p MyCNC" (without quotes). Press OK. You are ready.
