Re: Temporarily disable limits?

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense. I've been using the same variation of a homing routine for a few years now. For years I've been running my homing routine that way. As you instructed I removed the limits and sure enough it works... almost. My homing routine seeks the switches as you'd imagine. But on...

Temporarily disable limits?

Hi all, I've got a couple of Centroid installs that I have done that have required me to disable limits in certain situations. One situation is during homing. I've run into situations where a machine was moved when powered off and I can do a homing routine because there are machine limits in place. ...

Re: Slow Jogging

There sure is! I missed that one!

One thing I did notice is that with the pendant it jogs fast in all directions.. I like that just fine but it might be worth noting that the VCP and pendant jog behavior is different.

Slow Jogging

I'm seeing slow jogging on this version...

Report attached.

Re: Problem Saving VCP Aux Key Setting

That seemed to work. I guess something in the wizard isn't writing that setting correctly...

I didn't know you could change those values manually like that.

Problem Saving VCP Aux Key Setting

Hi all! I'm running into an issue... I've done a pretty extensive VCP reorganizing and things have gone fine up to the point where I am trying to assign one of my last macros to a skin event in the Acorn Wizard. When I try to change Skin event 18 to M77 (a custom macro that I made) the setting never...

Re: Who is Eric Schimelpfenig

We’re saying the same thing Gary you just did a way better job at explaining it :) If you’re talking about a single axis, let’s say an X axis where the sensor is mounted on a moving gantry, that sensor can be used to home with a metal target and also on the other end of the axis there can be another...
