Pathpilot downgrade required for ZA6/Mill integration?

I’m trying to get my ZA6 integrated with my existing PCNC 1100 S3. Currently I’m running PathPilot 2.10.1 on the mill. According to this support web page,
https://tormach.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ROBO/pages/2270265349/Connect+a+PathPilot-Controlled+CNC+Machine communication with the mill requires running the provided v2.7.1-robot-communication-DEV-1.tgp update.

Doing so worked in the sense that I can now communicate between robot and mill … but it also downgraded path pilot to 2.7. Unfortunately I need v2.10.1 for its support of a portrait-oriented screen.

Can I have both?

@futnuh ,

Any PathPilot release after 2.9 will support robot-mill communication. You can to go back to 2.10.1.
Make sure to enable robot-mill communication on the settings tab:

Thank you for pointing out a flaw in our documentation. We’ll get that fixed up shortly.

Thank you. I can’t believe I didn’t see this. I got so focused on applying a patch.
