Re: Overall turns ratio, advice.
A faster motor, stepper or servo, has zero effect on the gear ratio. I'd suggest a 5:1 gearbox for your current setup. And just so you are aware, the faster you run a stepper the less torque it has. It falls off QUICK. Yes, I am aware of that. So in order to keep my 1000ipm rapids and 600ipm cuttin...

Re: RTG display
Thanks Keith, I was thinking maybe it was a redraw issue. Always look forward to updates, CNC12 just gets better and better.

RTG display
Hello, Is it possible, maybe in a future upgrade to have the run time graphics tool to display a solid line instead of the dots? Although it works, I find that the display of dots especially at higher feed rates just looks rather quirky. A solid line fill would give a more pleasing view. Just my opi...

Re: CNC 12 5.02 ATC questions
I could not find any info about this. So I have my rack ATC setup with 15 tools with corresponding bin numbers and related height offsets, all works great. My question is: How do I handle any tools above the 15 tools that I have setup in bin numbers? How do I add them? I know that will not be automa...

Re: Can I change jogging behavior in VCP?
It is strange. I used the wizard just like you said. When I power cycle the acorn board the wizard shows fast/continuous, however the VCP is in slow jog mode. Parameter 856 went to 3 not 1. The funny thing is that I have always wondered why I could not get this to change. All the way back since 4.62...

Re: Can I change jogging behavior in VCP?
Interestingly, I set par 856 to 1, saved it, same thing. It starts up slow continuous.
