Is the park macro in the default cncm files? What's it called (or what's the file path)? Thanks.

Re: ClearPath Trouble - Step Input timing error

Try this: run a new step wire and direction wire from the acorn terminal to the clearpath and test.

Re: Run Time Graphics

Old thread, I know. But for future readers, here is additional info. I too had this problem of no trail being shown (but it did show recently, before a centroid software update). Keith's comment made me realize that I did not have a tool specified at all in the gcode. It was hastily written test cod...

Re: Clearpath SDSK error

The error persists. Axis tuned many times, including profile resets. I'll try another PC today. Any further input is welcome.

Re: Notepad++ User-Defined Centroid Language

For gcode/macros. I saw your other post, great job although I'm not to the PLC customizing stage in my usage. I'd be all for abandoning Notepad++ if something better comes along! Get to writing that VS extension! :D :lol: Update: I see now that you already released the extension. Thanks! I look forw...

Notepad++ User-Defined Centroid Language

Is there a Notepad++ language definition floating around written for Centroid (user-defined language)? I'm using my own which I am making up as I go, but would willingly comply to a written format. For example, for "Folding Code" I am using ;{ as open and ;} as close (curly brackets borrow...
