v0.2.4
Beam Bench 0.2.4 improves per-object layer assignment, controller recovery, and safer GRBL framing.
Beam Bench v0.2.4.
Improvements
- Select one or more objects and choose Layer in Properties, or right-click a destination layer tab and choose Move Selection to This Layer.
- Controller communication is rechecked automatically before Beam Bench declares an idle connection lost.
- GRBL emergency stop recovery can reopen a failed connection once, resend the reset, and confirm the controller response. If confirmation fails, Beam Bench clears the stale connection and shows physical-stop guidance.
- Generic GRBL reads the controller's
$130and$131travel settings instead of keeping a placeholder workspace. An ACMER S2 machine preset is now included. - Framing validates its complete planned motion against the active machine profile and clearly reports when the single framing pass is complete.
Fixes
- Moving one selected object to another layer no longer changes unselected objects that shared its original layer.
- When a preview bounds problem comes from the project's origin mode, Beam Bench can switch to Absolute Coordinates and recheck the preview automatically.
