Very interesting, Tweaks, what is the material you're using to get the contrast like that?

Thanks for sharing-

Actually there are now 10 macros, thanks to (Scott Schafer (poppabear and www.fusioncnc.com ))

I highly recommend reading these threads about the plugin so you can see the revisions it went through. May save some problems down the road.

Look here for the updated plugin file: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12163.10.html  Reply #11 has the file.

Here's where it all started (the updated shuttle macro): http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,1220.80.html

As for using the macros, you just put the macro number that's in your macros folder (just the number, no "m" is used) that you'd like to assign to a specific button, then select in the dropdown menu which macro, and you're good to go.

What's not working with your Shuttle with the display? I used mine today and it worked just fine, macros and all. Not that you have me worried again!  

Are you using Scott Sheaffers Shuttle Pro plugin with the 10 macros available?

Also keep in mind, I believe you have to retune the motor tuning settings when setting different kernel speeds as well -

Haven't gotten anything like that here Terry. I'm sure the head honchos will look into this though.

EDIT: I pointed this out to the admins for you-

Just wanted to update all of you that helped (or that were interested), I finally ended up upgrading to V3.042.020 and the display works perfectly.

I normally did not use macropumps until using this display. Is it normal for Mach to slow down just a tiny bit when running macropumps?

What are some of the reasons you use macropumps?

Thanks as always-
