Ok, I think I know why settings are disappearing

…because when you press Save button, it actually does nothing, at least you need to wait 5 minutes minimum until it saves to the sd card!

There is a terminal running in the background which I managed to bring it front and it clearly outputs everything going on with the machine and magically, that every 5 minutes, it saves settings to the disk. So if you made a change and not wait at least 5 minutes before turning off the machine, the next time you power it on, your settings simply not there. So that is why your back gauge settings might be dissapearing. Because it only writes settings to the persistent memory (your SD card in that case) every 5 minutes.

Why?

Because in that way your SD card won’t prematurely damaged itself, Since every time you press Save button, there is a risk that SD card can get corrupted. So they timed the real memory saves for every 5 minutes to reduce the strain to the sd card itself.

This is why running a system from a sd card is risky business.

Unless Langmuir upgrades the storage to m2 ssd on these machines, this issue will persist no matter how many bugfixes they introduce.

I just replaced the weak orange pi 3 that comes with the machine with Orange Pi 5 Pro with 16gb of ram and dedicated NVME + eMMC. So I got rid of that SD card. Machine now runs perfectly, except the lingering bugs, which actually caused by how they utilize the save system on the software.

Please test it on your machine: turn on the machine, create a bend or program, save it and turn off the machine immediately less than 5 minutes. Start it again and if your program is not there, that is the culprit. So you need to wait 5 minutes at least to make sure your programs are saved properly.

@langmuir-sam. Please kindly prioritize to address this issues asap. This is why I decided to stop buying anything from Langmuir as of right now. I was looking to invest in MR1 and Apollo but this unresolved bugs with the press brake decided me to hold on for now…

Back gauge still will not save any more than one name. It’s disturbing and repulsive that a company would knowingly market, distribute and sell a machine to people with known bugs, flaws, design failures and software faults. I will never recommend anyone purchase a Langmuir product after the multiple failures and outright egregious lack of accountability or commitment to integrity. ALL of these problems and issues are easily fixed if they would simply release and post the source code, so qualified individuals could end the relentless problems langmuir has inflicted on all of it’s buyers and users. I have completely given up on langmuir doing the right thing and fixed their design flaws / bugs / UI disaster - they will not - despite employing supposed ‘coders’ and software in house programmers. I think at this point we are at the mercy and hope that someone like ASTRN or HOLLERBAGH will do what langmuir failed to do, and implement their skills to design and repair a functioning software program that is workable and user friendly - something langmuir failed at, yet still market, sell and ship out broken and non functioning machines daily.
