    Default No negative z-numbers on wireless MPG

    I am using the wireless handwheel as supplied from Planet-CNC. Works well but have not used it extensively.
    Today I was running a tool path that starts with a positive z-value and ends up slightly negative. But noticed when the tool ends up below zero, the display stays positive.
    In that case, the screen display jumps from +2.10mm to -0.99mm (which is correct and what the bit is doing) and the MPG display jumps from +2.1mm to +0.99mm.

    Yes, the same here.
    Another error is that 1/100 steps are only displayed from 1mm.

    This is just display issue. I guess I overoptimized text generator algorithm and come cases are apparently not covered. Will fix this.

    I fixed missing minus character.
    I don't understand what is "1/100 steps" error.

    It's been dealt with. I can no longer reproduce the error. Maybe it was just a condition error

    The UI also sometimes displays -0.000 which looks odd.
