Firmware Menusystem

The controller's firmware can be operated via an integrated menu system. This section explains the individual menus and their functions.

System Startup and Configuration

During the controller's boot phase, a welcome text is displayed, which takes a few seconds as the system initializes and the configuration is loaded from memory. Then the version of the board will be displayed and confirming that data has been successfully read. Once the LCD displays "push for homing," the device has fully booted and is ready for use. The "Startmenu" is active.
