Re: M3/M4 lost control
That’s a good thought and I would have thought that restarting cnc12 and the acorn would have reset that but I just checked and unfortunately that does not seem to be the issue. I can cycle outputs 1-3 and 7-8 with M commands just fine

M3/M4 lost control <outputs left in forced off mode>
Hi all. I have recently upgraded my electrical cabinet on my lathe setup and now I can’t get the spindle outputs working. If I toggle the output in the diagnostic screen it works as it should and VFD runs as normal but I cannot get the output relay to trigger by using the manual spindle buttons, thr...

Re: Setting up a manual axis for spindle angle display
Just a quick tip I use. If the manual axis comes up M****.**** go to MDI page and type:- M26/M to reset the zero position for the axis. Occasionally the DRO will not read out when it opens. You can also write a macro for zeroing the manual axis to the index pulse, you will find that discussion and c...

Re: Centroid Mill Turn PP for fusion 360 (WIP)
With further development I have found the problem to be more sinister. The outputted path is not correct. The fusion model looks like this:- Fusion.PNG If I PP with generic centroid mill I get this toolpath which seems correct:- Centroid_mill.PNG If I use the mill/turn PP in the link I get:- Centroi...

Re: Intercon wish list.
Hi all. I was wondering if it is possible to allow you to write subroutines in intercon? I have manually edited the programs after posting to the controller and it works but it would be nice to be able to make a repeated routine in intercon, possibly after the "end program" line that you c...

Re: Centroid Mill Turn PP for fusion 360 (WIP)
Hi UWE, I am running your PP but I am getting sporadic full feed lines in the outputted code. It also seems to insert a random "Z safe height" before it has finished running the pocket. Capture3.PNG Everything in the fusion toolpath looks correct and I have tried with "always use high...

Re: Fusion C axis Lathe post processor
I did but I upgraded to a new computer and have lost it in the process. I am now re-writing a new version that I will save in multiple locations. I was hoping to not have to and get a copy from someone so I am not reinventing the wheel but it doesn’t seem to be available. I will update here when I a...
