hi all, maybe i'm doing something wrong with polarshield sd, well, first i uploaded machine spec to polarshield via usb cable, then removed the cable.
then i write onto the sd a queue.txt, insert the sd onto the polarshield reset it and move the gondola to the homing pos and turn on the motor with the touchscreen. but when trying to write from sd the queue the gondola goes to the bottom right of the sheet almost out of it. in other words it does not work via sd in standalone mode!
any idea?
thank you
giorgio
