CNC12 DEMO MODE??

I just ordered an ACORN to update my MACH3 6040 CNC router and i wonder if its possible to have a demo mode of the software without a connection to the board. just like to get a feel for it while waiting for the ACORN to arrive?

Re: So heres a weird one! Please Help me??

Thanks Scott I figured it had to be a config problem of some sort for it to move so well in all but the G01 . Will generate a report later today when I get back to the shop and send it along.

Re: So heres a weird one! Please Help me??

well a few more tests with G1 and spindle running and I doubt they are related. Issue a G1 move and on a very short move it might complete say less than 0.25" but ask for 1" of motion and the axis will start to move and then go crazy twitchy oscillating back and forth sort of scenario whic...

Re: So heres a weird one! Please Help me??

well more reading and I am beginning to wonder if my G1 jerky motion issues are somehow related to the spindle speed. Initially I was just issuing G1 moves in MDI mode with the spindle turned off but with the spindle actually running it somehow seems slightly different, short moves are so so as far ...

Re: How can I set the DRO reading for Home.

Ok so more reading time in the book and on the forum and I almost feel silly. :oops: Realized that I was looking at the wrong DRO and once I did an ALT D to toggle them to Machine from WCS , the readout is now correct 0,0,0 at the home position as it should be. I also edited my cncm.hom file to get ...

Re: How can I set the DRO reading for Home.

After some more ng on the forum I am wondering if I am actually homing since the DRO doesn't reset to 0.0's ?? It does travel to the limit switch trip and then moves off but the DRO doesn't reset. I guess I have more to read and likely configure.

Re: Coordinate rotation system -- a boon!

Thanks for the positive feedback on the CSR option, you just moved it a little closer to the top of my list of options to add to my machine once I get it sorted.

How can I set the DRO reading for Home.

I have my machine set to home at the +Z, +x, +y position and I would like that position to be reflected in a relative sense to the work envelope of my table. In other words I have 18" of travel in X but at the home position I have a DRO reading of say -11.2755 or some such number. I would find ...

So heres a weird one! Please Help me??

After a 3 year absence since first installing my ALLINONE control on my EXCELLO mill I have finally gotten back to this project. I just yesterday purchased and entered my unlock codes and the machine lives again EXCEPT: It JOGS smoothly fast or slow no issues, go to MDI mode and issue a G0 rapid mov...

Re: atom mother boards

I see this is an older post but I thought I would reply. I did a bunch of initial set-up, tuning and testing with a small ATOM based Netbook an HP Mini. Seemed to work ok. I never ran any code or actual cutting but it did config and jog the mill no problems!
