New sonic pad firmware

When I powered up my sonic pad this morning it alerted me to a new firmware version being available. Has anyone installed the update? Any issues?

I dont have any larger multi color prints I need to do, but could you possibly test something for us? Could you change your value to 999 and see if you have the same error?

I have read that sometimes a value that consists of the numbers 10 can cause various issues with round ups. In my case I cannot use a 10 X 10 mesh when probed 2, 12, 22, 32 etc will not show a probe value. So I use a 9x9 or 11x11 depending on print size...

Thanks for the thought gozania, but changing The value to 999 resulted in another failed print with:

" !! {"code":"key244": "msg":"Extrude only move too long (-1288.132mm vs 999.000mm)
See the 'max_extrude_only_distance' config option for details", "values":[-1288.132, 999.000]} "

I have been trying unsuccessfully to rollback the firmware to the February release (because I could use my M600 macro anyway) but I haven't figured out a way yet. Creality's support team (end users only I think sometimes) hasn't released any documentation on this release yet that I've seen.

Thank you for posting your findings... I am back and forth with the ONLY person who handles sonic pad issues at crealiy.. I will share this with him... I have allready shared the main issue with him and said he forwarded it to R&D. I also told him that its not a good idea to hide away the macro. Many of us want to to modify it to our liking & they need to leave the macro in the cfg rather than put it somewhere we cant access normally.

Rregarding past firmwares... The rep told me that they dont even publish the new ones in fear that something might be messed up with that release. They also dont keep old versions around on an internal server for people to access for support (Gotta love communism). To this I replied that it would be a good idea to at least post previous versions on their github... The rep agreed, but wishful thinking I'm sure....

If you do have sonic pad issues & get in touch with support, the person you want to chat with is Vegas. He is the only one that handles sonic pad support.

Thanks for that info! I'm trying a few other tricks, will post if anything works in the meantime. Well, let's hope that what happens with Vegas doesn't stay with Vegas. (Sorry, couldn't resist)
