Simple Software Bugs - Tab Order and Extruder Light

Very impressed with this software! I found a couple of bugs that I think are easy fixes.

-Red Extruder On Light on the "Machine Control Panel" Stays on after a USB print job. This might be my machine not communicating properly after a print, but it should be a pretty easy thing to test out.

-Tab order is off on the "Machine Control Panel." After changing the Extruder temp the Tab key selects the Heated Bed "Set" button and after changing the Heated Bed temp the Tab key selects the Extruder "Off" button. I think it would be much more useful after changing the temperature for the Tab key to select the "Set" button of the respective heating element so all you need to do is hit the space bar and the temperature is set!

Thanks!

I believe the red extruder light turns off if you send a "M104 S0" (turn off extruder) command at the end of your print. Do you have that command in your ending script so that it is being sent?

Yes, I have that in my Scripts under "Ending G-Code". My extruder turns off, it's just that the light in the Simplify3D software stays on.

The light is for the active toolhead. For example, if you have Tool 1 selected, the light will stay on until you send a command like "M104 S0 T1". I just ran several tests myself and this functioned exactly as it should.

If it isn't working for you, please post your factory file (file --> save factory file) and let us know what printer model you have

My "Ending G-Code" right now is "M104 S0", I will change it to "M104 S0 T1" (I have a single extruder (Rostock Max V2), so I think it will be T0) and see if that turns it off.

Thanks!
