How to restore return positions in V4.14 <answered >

I updated to V4.14 without any real issues, and I restored the tool and offset tables.

How do I restore the return positions G28, G30, G30 P3, G30 P4.

Re: I Broke the Wizzard

When Parameter 44 has a negative value, the wizard will not start. Change the value to positive and the wizrad will start again.

Re: The Ultimate Guide to Touch Probe and Tool Height Setter Configuration on Acorn, CNC12 v4.12

I used swissi's guide, and had some discussions with him. I get the 916 error. Attached a fresh report. I use a NO TT and a NC TP. I start the machine (probe disconnected), I home the machine, I press F3 (MDI), when I type G28 or G30 P4 (to go to my tool change position) and cycle start, I get error...

Re: How to connect a TouchProbe and a ToolSetter at the same time

Hi Murray, I will give it another try this evening when I am at home. I will do a complete clean installation of the software, a fresh config from the wizard, and then change the parameters. I do not understand why this isn't as easy as it should be: I just want to use a hardwired toolsetter (NO), a...

Re: How to connect a TouchProbe and a ToolSetter at the same time

I can't get it working anymore, not even both hardwired like I had it running before. Somehow the wizard makes settings that you cannot change with parameter changes.

Re: Lost Communication with Acorn: "Host Unreachable"

Do you use a shielded cable?

I have tried a UTP Cat6 cable and had the same problem. I replaced the cable to a shielded cable and no connection problems.

Re: Centroid CNC11 & CNC10 Operator Manuals

Just saw this topic, and downloaded the milling manual with bookmarks.

Maybe you should post this also in the Acorn section, I expect many more Acorn users appreciate the bookmarks.

This makes searching the manual so much easier :D

Re: How to set distance probe move off surface after probing

I do have the Digitizing Bundle, so I will further test the available probing options. I will only create my own routines incase it is really necessary.

Thanks for the clear answer.
