Post Pen lift/drop fails when command is sent without a value

In the latest code (9-18-2014) pen lift/drop fails to work when sent without a value. The pen lift test fails as does pen lift/drop when drawing. Pen lift/drop does work when the pen lift or drop button is clicked since in this case the controller sends the command with a explicit value. I am using a Adafruit motor shield V1.

Ok, just had a look at that, found the problem and hopefully fixed it. Re-bundled, code committed into the project repository.

https://github.com/euphy/polargraphcontroller/releases/tag/1.10.2

Thanks!

The new server version does not work for me. The Arduino doesn't react at all (or strange) to command sent. E.g. Set Home does not work at all now.
Switched back to yesterdays version which works fine.

Aha, did you use the updated controller too?

I am quite sure that I updated controller and server - but will check in an hour or so - plotting right now 🙂

Oh.. nuts, that was my best guess.

Are you sure that the controller was updated at all? The files in the last ZIP show
/controller/application.macosx/polargraphcontroller.app - 17.09.2014, 23:44
/arduino-source/polargraph_server_a1/polargraph_server_a1.ino, 19.09.2014, 00:13
so the controller binary seems to be 2 days older than the server?

Right, the binary wasn't updated in the recent fixes, only in the first one. If you'd already updated it, then that's not the problem I guess.
