Phil,

Did you have this issue on the runtime graphics (RTG) display; or on the G-code display; or both?

What causes your carousel to rotate? Does it rotate in both directions? What locks it in position when it arrives at the target? Here is one example of reading an encoder (from the Oak encoder input #5) and translating it into the nearest carousel position: ; Monitor the carousel position ; There ar...

Parameter 6?

This could also be an analog oscillation problem. That theory would be supported if you get predictable spindle speed using a battery (e.g. 9V gives you 90% speed, 1.5V gives you 15% speed). If that appears to be the case, you could try one of the "snubber" solutions. See https://centroidc...

By "a real point", I assume you mean known numeric coordinates (presumably in the drawing, relative to the drawing's zero point). I do not know of any way you can just enter such an offset. The best approach, if you cannot get the CAD coordinates to be where you need them, is probably to j...

Did you look at the Z motor power wiring, to see if you can find out where the 63 Ohm measurement came from?

Instead of a copy of your license file, try posting a current Report file from your control. Use F7/Utility -> F7/Report to create one. The file name will begin with "report_", and it will have a ".zip" file extension on it.

I measured the Z axis motor which is fully operational and the red to blk was 1.9 ohm red to gnd 63 ohm - this surprises me...2x blk to gnd 63 ohm That is very odd. I would have expected that to blow the Z axis of the drive as soon as you tried to put power to the Z motor. There should be a 3-posit...

I don't see anything wrong with the file.

I was able to read it in CNC12 offline/demo v5.00.

What CNC11 or CNC12 software version are you using?

Yes. A good starting point is to set P6 = 0 and P160 = 0. Beyond that, it mostly depends on your M6 macro and your PLC program. If your M6 macro does not recognize P6==0 and fall back on manual tool changes, then you will need to temporarily delete or rename it so that CNC12 just uses the default ma...
