[5/12/2023, 3:07:40 am] ~ Oscar Molano: Hello I’m trying to install flair but I’m getting this message after installation

[5/12/2023, 3:10:41 am] ~ Niko: Oscar, flair 7? What windows version?

[5/12/2023, 3:15:10 am] ~ Oscar Molano: Windows 7

[5/12/2023, 3:19:54 am] ~ Niko: Las versions of flair 7 don’t work on windows 7. Classic will do

[5/12/2023, 4:25:07 am] ~ Riley Morgan: Hey y'all I found a fun one today on my Bolt.

End mount:

Perfectly fine when the pan arm is not inverted.

However - Unable to enter carts modes when the pan arm is inverted and roll is spun 180 to compensate. Robot trips, roll axis overspeed dialogue (no axis moves when this happens)

I like to put the pan arm upside down when in end mount because it gives me more clearance at the wrist with the tilt axis, but I guess I can't do that now. Unsure if it's flair version as it's been a while since I've done this.

Anyone have a similar issue?

No issues at all if the pan arm is "right side up"

[5/12/2023, 4:25:34 am] ~ Riley Morgan: Fl classic, 7.21 beta jun 7 2023

[5/12/2023, 4:27:55 am] ~ Riley Morgan: It's not a light camera package either but I've definitely y done much heavier while end mounted
