View Full Version : Something's not being saved...

Not a big deal but here's what happens:

When I'm done working, if I leave the gantry at locations other than 0,0 and close the program, when I open the program the next time it thinks it is at 0,0 even though it is not.

This happens even if I do not shut down the control box, as well as if I do shut it down.

Using ver. 3.6.46 on a PRT with 4G upgrade
Control box firmware 202

Which file saves the gantry location from one instance to the next, and any ideas why it wouldn't be saving the actual location?

Save your current config in C:\ProgramData\ShopBot\ShopBot 3\Settings using the US command. Make sure you save them there or somewhere with a unique name, like "MAYO.sbc", you will remember.

Then goto C:\ProgramData\ShopBot\ShopBot 3 and delete the Shopbot.ini file. Restart SB3 and if it tells you it doesn't have a config, go pick the one you saved. Otherwise, load the one you saved running the UR command.

Let me know if that fixes it.

In some cases, not having read/write permission for the ProgramData file or Programs(x86)\ShopBot can cause it to not allow it to write the location...but I don't think that is your issue.
