I decided to try printing on my Wanhao D7 again, and I downloaded and installed NanoDLP on my RPi, and I can see it over the network. I have installed the Wanhao D7 machine settings from the repo page, but it doesn't respond to any z-axis commands at all. My build plate is all the way down in the vat at the home position. I used a previous version of NanoDLP with this printer before, and aside from being a newer version, I have no idea why it wouldn't work. What am I missing?

So, I found I can control the z-axis through the terminal, but nothing else works. What am I doing wrong?

So, while I can seemingly use the terminal to control the z-index, the ACTUAL z-index controls under setup do some REALLY strange things, seemingly randomly. Mostly, they do absolutely nothing, but occasionally, I can click, for instance, 10mm up, and it will move 10mm up. If I hit it again, it usually does absolutely nothing, but one time, it actually dropped the build plate by about 50mm. Top does nothing. Floor does nothing.
I'm not sure what is going on here, can someone help?

Sounds like you have it set to absolute positioning . If you press Z 10 it will go to Z 10 . if you press Z 10 again it does nothing because its already at Z 10
If its set to relative positioning it will go to Z 10 the first press then go to Z 20 the second press etc etc .
There's a setting in NanoDLP to set relative or absolute positioning
IF you want to experiment in terminal heres the reference gcode info https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G090.html & https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/G091.html
Good luck

I'll check that after work today, but shouldn't the machine settings have taken care of that?

Sorry for the late reply, got busy at the end of the week. The printer is set to relative, not absolute positioning.
