Odd half disconnects - DC42 Firmware

I recently stared using my Ormerod V1 again and upgraded to the latest firmware.
Since the upgrade occasionally the web interface does not report temperature/z sensor etc.
The web interface still shows connected and commands from it work fine it's just the auto update bits
that stop working.

When it gets into this state disconnect/reconnect do not fix it, but going to the Settings/Machine properties page
and clicking the "firmware diags" button makes it all work fine and report temps etc again.

My hardware is the orig 0.6 board This started happening after upgrade to 1.17 firmware with 1.13 web interface
I have since upgraded again to the 1.17dev6 firmware which has not made any difference although the
grid bedprobe feature is really neat and has allowed me to get the bed exactly level on my printer :-)

My network setup should be good, the ormerod and pc are connected to the same switch, uploads/downloads
all work fine to the printer it looks like occasionally something turns off the auto query of the printer status.

I suggest you open the debugging console, which in Chrome and Firefox you do by pressing control-shift-J. When DWC stops updating temperatures you will probably get a JavaScript exception message there. If so, tell us the details and that will help chrishamm or myself to fix it.

Hopefully chrishamm will see this soon and pick it up.

Worked out what the problem is, I know enough js to read it but not write it unfortunately
the error is caused when the /macros directory does not exist on the sd card.
Creating this directory fixed it, Prob needs to be a bit more forgiving or give a better error :-)

Thanks, I've added it to the bug fix list.
