I did the same exact starting steps as you did (fork from knaster/LitePlacer-ver2) and I got the desired result (forked from knaster/LitePlacer-ver2 - screenshot attached)

Not sure what is going on on your side? It definitely looks like you have the files from JuKu.

I usually end up using the command line for Git, since the Windows UI likes to do a bunch of things in the background that I don't explicitly tell it to do. But, it's a larger learning curve...
I'll try to help out where I can, if and when this effort gets off the ground

Git does still not work for me, messes everything up. So I stay away from it. I am sure it us the user in front of the keyboard who makes the error here, but I just do not understand how git works, inspite reading the manuals 3 times. It does not do what I expect, so before I destroy anything I let...

I am actively working on the machine; if you would like to do some GitHub development I would be very willing to help you work on it! Recently I tried to place about 370 parts on a board - the result was very .. involved human interaction to get the parts placed. If we get more people working on the...

I have had this happen many times, and haven't found a clean solution to it. Sometimes, it is noise on the wiring (try using ethernet cables for your limit switch wiring) and sometimes, the program and the machine don't like to play nicely. I've found that if the speed of the motors is set too slowl...

Note about the command: git add * This adds everything in your current working directory, which may or may not be what you want. To be more explicit with the file adding, you might want to do something more like git add ./path/to/filename Or just use the GUI. Some useful references: http://gitref.or...

Suggestion - since we are using Git, we can do pull requests. This means that we can edit Juha's code on LitePlacer-DEV, and then ask him to merge it back in (perhaps, after we fork it, but don't just keep the fork kind of on its own branch). Or, depending on how generous he is, he may give people p...

when I start the program, I immediately click another tab, as soon as I see the window,other than the default one, and it hangs. Maybe it is a computer based thing?

It seems like if I immediately switch tabs before I get the "Problem starting down camera" or "Problem starting up camera" errors, the program crashes immediately and I have to do some magic to get it running again. Do you know what might be causing this?

It does not appear that "keep active" works very well for me. I've been using the robust mode, which takes more time, but as the dialog box says, it is more "robust". Many times, I will have to plug & unplug the cameras for the switching to work again. See the end of this mes...
