I just downloadedand installed the update. now after every print on my Printrbot Metal Simple the print head goes to the center of the print area and drives to z=0, wrecking my print and straining the structure on my printer. I don't see anything in the gcode to make it do that. My post print gcode just homes the x and y axes. What is going on?

Both of my units just found the update, thank you!

What version should I be using for a small system running Ubuntu 14.04. The system is an industrial headless system with an Intel Atom procesor. I am using version 1.4 but it seems to decide to take the rest of the day off in the middle of a print. Is this my OS? version problem? mono? system? or bad karma? What standalone device could I use in place of a pc?
-
@TodABen Upgrading Mono may help (we recommend version 4.2), but it is likely that you are running into this error, which we have been aware of for some time. To check, run MatterControl from the terminal.
If you are looking for a replacement for your PC, you should consider the MatterControl Touch, a standalone Android powered printer controller.
-
@tanderson Is there a way to run the interface to the printer as a service on Linux. This may remove any constraints imposed by the user interface. I could help with this.
-
Tod, there was some work being done towards that, but it is incomplete right now. @LarsBrubaker, is this a possibility in the future?

I also have downloaded 1.5.1 on my Matter Control Touch and have a Printrbot Simple Metal. Since the download everthing prints normally, then at the completion of the print the printer goes to xo and y0 then immediately centers on the bed and attempts to go to z0 driving the print head into the finished object.

@Panacaguy and @jvhilton,
Remove the following line from your End GCode, if it is there.
G28
Do not remove any lines like the following, but do make sure that all letters on these lines are uppercase.
G28 X0 G28 Y0
G28is the command that tells your printer to home. It is safe to home the X and Y axis, but when you issueG28without any parameters, it homes all three axes (including Z) and crashes into the bed. I'm not sure why the loneG28would be in there in the first place. Nevertheless, this seems to be the case for some people.

Does 1.5 address the issues with intel chipset video cards?
