Default Next Castle software version has....

The infamous beep taken out that happens every 20 seconds or so. Just thought you guys should know. Nothing we can do about the startup noise...your motor won't start well without it.

Unplug a motor wire and it will be quiet with a BL, and totally silent with a brushed motor.

Plug it back in to run.

I wish it would plug itself in so I don't have to bend over.

I just downloaded the new version, and kudos! The print function is awesome, and my buddy mudboger07 said that the removed beep even fixes the servo glitch issue.
THANKS CASTLE CREATIONS!
