Re: How to change park position
Let me explain why I would like to change the park position: I run a BF20L mill, and home the Y axis in the positive direction. When the machine is at the home or park position the table saddle is sticking out approx. 3-4 centimeters from the base. I do not like this. I want to park the Y axis so th...

Re: How to change park position
I just purchased a Corsair K95 RGB keyboard, to configure it to use it with the Acorn. Creating Macros in the keyboard to automate using the MDI, giving almost unlimited Aux keys. I am also configuring the colors of the individuals keys to have the Centroid style colors. (Jogging keys yellow, functi...

Re: How to change park position
I understand. I was already using G30 with an Aux key, but I am running out of available Aux keys
I wanted to free-up an Aux key by being able to change the park position. I hope it will become available in a future update, or get more Aux keys...

How to change park position
Before switching off the mill I use the park option to move the table near the home position. I would like to change the park position, instead of moving a quarter spindle turn from the home position I would like to move the table a little further away from the home position. I checked the manual bu...

What is the best way to find the center of a part using an edge finder
While reading the manual I did not find a example how to find the center of a part. I found an old topic describing a possible solution by using macro's http://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=575&p=2653&hilit=edge+finder#p2653 but I wonder if there is already an easier way to d...

Re: Request: Keyboard shortcuts for all buttons in the VCP
Hi Marty, In another topic I read Centroid is working on changing the vcp, so I thought this would be the ideal time to ask for some miner additions ;) I know Centroid is working on support for a XHC wireless pendant, but I always wanted to build a control panel. Not having a pendant available gave ...

Re: Request: Keyboard shortcuts for all buttons in the VCP
Hi Scott, indeed nearly all buttons have a keyboard shortcut, but not all. My request is for all buttons to have a keyboard shortcut. I have both a touchscreen and a xkeys-pad connected and configured, but I like neither of them. Currently there is no real pendant available for the Acorn, so I want ...

Request: Keyboard shortcuts for all buttons in the VCP
I am trying to create my own control panel using a Pokeys57U, at this moment it is nothing more then a bunch of buttons nd wires on a breadboard, but it is working. Created some macro's to put behind the Aux buttons, and it all works. Unfortunately not all buttons in the vcp have a keyboard shortcut...
