    Default version 3.8.46

    With the controller card / V4G system / you could use the most recent version 3.8.46

    The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....

    I'm confused. Version 3.8.46 appears to be a release that hasn't happened yet. Do you mean 3.6.46?

    You may have been directed to the old site link. As our site is transitioning to a new layout sometimes the pages will load as the old style which will only display up to 3.8.44, try this:

    The link Curtis J. provided above is also the direct download link for 3.8.46 if you'd like to download it. the most recent version is 3.8.48

    I see. I have a 3G controller now and am limited to 3.6.46 last updated 2013

    Even with an early 4G controller, the newest controller software can be used, do I have that correct?

    It actually is not dependent on being 4G, but the controller card connected to the V4G board (small card).

    If the smaller card has lights on it then it is one of the v2xx controllers and would be fine to run on the most current version - 3.8.48 - but can also be run on the earlier 3.6.46
    If the smaller card does not have lights on it the the connection type likely is a serial-usb and you would need to run version 3.6.46.

    What would be gained by switching to 3.8.48 from 3.6.46 assuming I have the correct controller.

    These are mostly the 3.6v3.8 differences:

    however, I never recommend that soemone change versions if they are currently working. if you have no issues, stick with 3.6
