NOTICE: Fixing Incremental Mode Presets in the Sherline Mini GUI It has come to our attention that the incremental presets do not show the appropriate measurements in the Sherline Mini GUI on Ubuntu EMC2 (this is not related to the Debian version of EMC). This is easily fixed, when using the Mill Inch CNC program in manual mode, select the "A" axis, then choose incremental, then select desired axis and it will give the correct presets. The only thing changed is you must first select the "A" axis prior to using X, Y, or Z. Although a simple workaround, a more permanent solution is being created. Thank you for your patience.
