Post Pen Size set to NaN in polargraph

Hi all,
Each time I power up the polargraph, the pen size is set to NaN and i need to connect the USB cable to set it with the polargraph server even I use the SD card.
There is a way to set it up automaticaly or during the Queue export ?
regards
denis

Yes you're right, NaNing is a bug in the firmware, it should always default to 0.8mm pen width - and it actually does, as long as you don't look at it. Which is a bit stupid, I know. I meant to fix that ages ago but forgot...

The solution that I use is to always have a "set pen width" command at the beginning of my exported queue. In fact, that's why the penwidth command is pre-loaded into the queue when you start the controller app (C02,0.8,END), because it it never saved in the machine's own memory.

I have raised an issue about this: https://github.com/euphy/polargraph_server_polarshield/issues/8

Everyone note: If you want something fixed, raise an issue and then it's hard for me to forget about.
