Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Well here I am again, I hope someone here can help. While calibrating the XYZ towers something maybe Matter Control has started acting up or this maybe related to another problem I am having. I will describe later. While recalibrating the machine (I have done this before with no problem). After pressing the XY or Z macro button and waiting for printer to stop then pressing the Bed Center macro button the printer moves to the XY or Z destination that it was at previously. Example pressing the Z macro button, printer moves to Z tower after motion has stopped I press the Bed Center macro button the printer heads towards the Z tower macro destination. The Home All Macro will clear this error. The Home Towers button on the LCD seems to clear this as well.

Another problem I was having prior to this is not being able to auto calibrate the heat bed or send temperature adjustments thru g code. I am still able to turn on and make adjustments with the LCD. However, after the heat bed issues showed up the Matter Control macro buttons were working as expected. I have been able to auto calibrate the heat bed as well as the hot end.

Any thoughts on either problem are appreciated. To me somehow they are related. One though I have is re installing the Repetier Firmware. I have never done this before as I have purchased this printer used. The thing worked when I purchased it, maybe it is just me. Oh well, I do realize it is all part of the learning experience (for me that is the fum part).

Thank you.

I've experienced the exact same issue with the macros

Java, sorry to hear that you have or have had the same issues with Matter Control as I have had. I was just about to try something that would have led me down the wrong path to finding a solution. Instead, I set up the same macros in Pronterface and found them to work correctly. To me this meant something was wrong with Matter Control. After uninstalling and reinstalling Matter Control I found that my macros were still there. Obviously I was doing something wrong. Not being a computer guru I emailed Matter Control technical support. Ryan emailed back with the information needed for a clean install. I again uninstalled Matter control then followed his directions. This is what he had to say.

"While I can't exactly determine what the issue that caused the macros to stop working, I think we can get your macros working again by clearing the application's data. The application data is stored in a folder separate from the program files, which is why uninstalling and reinstalling the program did not make a difference and all your settings were still there afterward. Follow the instructions for your operating system:

Windows: Delete the MatterControl folder in C:/Users/%Username%/AppData/Local/ (AppData may be hidden)
Mac OS X and Linux: Delete the MatterControl folder at ~/.local/share/ (.local may be hidden)"
A big thank you to Ryan.

The AppData file was hidden and I had to change to change my computer settings to allow it to be shown. Also the macro buttons had to be reprogrammed as described in the Rostock Max Manual. Now I did delete the AppData file before reinstalling. I did loose any work that I had been done previously. You may be ale to avoid this if you are more careful and experienced than I. I did not have mush to lose. But now things are working properly and that is what I was after.

I hope that this information is found to be useful to you or anyone else with the same problem.

Thanks for posting your solution!
