Thanks Marty.. That brings up a couple questions: 1) Did you mean "Alt + J" rather than the "Alt + I" that you typed? 2) I just put a new dedicated computer in service yesterday. I used a report to transfer the settings from my old to the new. When I open the Wizard, non of the c...

Thanks Guys and Merry Christmas

Is there a way to set the keyboard arrows to jog the machine (vs. the VCP buttons) I'm using CNC12_4.10
Thanks in advance

Dbur... Those are from a batch I bought on eBay: search: Riko PSC0802-N M8 Inductive Proximity Sensor D=2mm IP67 NPN N.O. www.automationdirect.com has the 8mm (and 5mm) sensors also. A few buck more, but will allow you to select the preferred NC logic and pick a wire length. They also ship faster th...

Just got an email saying mine is on its way.

Scot... I ran into the same issue. I was not using the "ENABLE" connections, are you? To test for the same issue, remove the 5vdc common connection from the 24vdc commons and see if the acorn will establish ETH connection. If so try using the attached schematic, and connect to relay 1 or 2...

Sure some that would work for CAD, but seriously lacking in the CAM department. I bought my first Acorn t...

Last question on this item... thanks for the previous good info.

Is there a software (soft switch) limit override or will I need to provide a momentary physical switch to back off the triggered limit?

Scott... Thanks for the info. I will post my scenario as it could help someone in the future. My current build is a G0752 lathe. I am using npn inductance proximity sensors, 3 of them. One is on X+ (home towards operator), second is on the Z+ (home away from chuck). The third is located to prevent t...
