Re: Door Safety Switch
I just tried again and I can no longer replicate holding the spindle start key and running the spindle with the door open. That worries me a bit on how that happened but I'll focus on the WMPG fast jog for the moment.

Re: Door Safety Switch
I have done as the documentation has stated. My input 6 is programmed as the Safety Door Switch though the Acorn Wizard. Parameter 985 is set to 1. Again, everything seems to work from the PC as I cannot select fast jog. But when using the MPG I can select fast jog and actually jog it. According to ...

Re: Door Safety Switch

Door Safety Switch <resolved>
Report attached...
I have a door safety switch wired to input 6 on our machine. When the door is open everything works as it should at the PC but I can still select fast jog on the MPG controller and jog at high speed. If I click and hold the spindle start button it will turn as well.

Re: Auto generate tool height offset
To CNCMaryland: Maybe I need to explain this more. I did read the manual and I did not see anything in there that could do what I am looking for. 1. When a tool change is requested the spindle moves to a determined location and the tool is changed manually. 2. After hitting cycle start the spindle m...

Auto generate tool height offset
I am looking for a macro that I can place in my G code to move the spindle to my tool setter and calculate the offset automatically. I understand that there is an app from Swissi2000 that does this but cannot get a reply from him nor do I need all the functionality in his app. I figured maybe someon...

Re: Acorn Six Laser control
Yes I saw this schematic and went through the wizard. I am not using a Jtech but a Chinese laser with power connections and a pwm input. I hooked the pwm to the Acorn pwm2 out. When I tried one of the sample geode file and hit cycle start my spindle started and the laser didn't seem to do much.
