Instructions:
1. Stop the MakerBot Conveyor Service (in Local Services) - this will allow you to access the COM port
2. Select the MakerBot serial COM port in the main VI
3. Run the code - the MakerBot will initialize and move the head just like starting a new 3D print task. After initialization use arrow keys and PgUp/PgDown to move the head. By holding down the key (repeat) the head accelerates.
