Hey guys, I have finally gotten to the point im setting up my tool change. Im using scotty's 3rd file where I have a fixed location for the plate. I have done the setup instructions and have successfully run the macros but on a testing scenario. Forgive my being clueless but can someone help me unde...

I also had the same problem when first figuring things out (5v for the drives). Im using a leadshine knockoff. What i did was make a time on delay circuit relay. This way when 24v is turned on (applies power to acorn) it also powers the time delay circuit and in X number of seconds the relay closes ...

Hey Gary

The cat6e is supposedly “awg 24” and using 4 wires should total to an equivalent awg18 wire. Anyway, i will try what you did and hopefully might work for me too <fingers crossed>.

Is there a script that CNC12 runs when you boot up the software?
I want to add some code to it where it turns on/off some outputs during startup.

Thanks!

Guy Im having issues with my huanyang 2.2kw vfd and spindle. I can turn on/off the vfd via acorn and co trol the speed via the analog. However, i have issues with the speed where its so erratic to the point it can vary as much as 6k rpm sometimes while most of the time its in the range of 1-2k. The ...

Thank to all who helped!
It works like a charm.
Im now able to home both the slave and main motors using 1 axis port. 4th axis here i come!

Hey Marty Im from the Philippines so all the good stuff are far from where I am. Cost just skyrockets to bring stuff in. I had to pay maybe about $140 on top of the acorn cost just for shipping and taxes. :D (well worth it) Anyway, im looking into “hidmacros” a keyboard emulator. Looks promising. Wi...

Hey guys, Buying an Xkeys is not practical from where im from. It would cost 3-4x the cost of the keys just to ship and after tax. I was wondering if any of you have experience with using an external usb keypad and binding them using some software to be used in conjunction with cnc12. Iv seen the vi...

Hi Scott Thanks a bunch! Just to clarify, I cant assign a specific function on the wizard because there is no specific function i want to achieve with the available list. Instead, I keep them at “OUTPUT 3,4 and 5.” M61 to M68 is a custom (default) macro which i openned and says M94 /61 —-> so /61 co...

Ok, i’ve recently upgraded to 4.12 in hopes this would solve this problem but still to no avail. Again, my output 1 is connected to the solenoid. I tried the MDR typing in M94/1 and i checked the i/o map and to my surprise turned on these output pins on the attached photo. Also, i check the macro fo...
