Re: Rack ATC Macro Help
I upgraded to 4.5. No issues with my tool change. BUT I already had a G4 P.1 after the G10 command.

Re: Rack ATC Macro Help
That is really weird. I haven't updated to 4.5 yet because of several big jobs and life... I will update in the next few days. My M6 is also using AllInOne Chris' macro as the base. I will report back.

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features
So am I understanding the process? 1. You created a 3D part, 2. The part was loaded on your machine, 3. You initiated the probing routine in CNC12 using the new probe 4. The output from CNC12 was imported into Fusion360 5. Your programming voodoo interpreted the output from CNC12 and created a model...

Re: Cabinet design software that works with Acorn controller
Both KCD and Mozaik are subscriptions. I have been looking at Mozaik for some projects around the house - closets and garage cabinets, they have a 3-month version for $125/month. Mozaik has a Post Processor for Centroid, don't know about KCD. Mozaik seems to do updates pretty regularly.

You could "pin" the VCP program to the taskbar, then just click to re-activate.

Re: yaskawa SGDA-04APP
I used these Yaskawa connectors and this adapter board for the Acorn from CNC4PC. It greatly simplified the wiring since this uses ethernet cables. Here is a sample wiring diagram.

Re: Rack ATC Macro Help
I think a macro that would highlight potential issues with their library could be useful, especially to those who may be new to CNC or just not familiar with ATC systems. As for an approach, i think hebs approach is good even though it may be as he described "hacky". The only thing i woul...

Re: Question for the Router Guys - CAD/CAM
I use Fusion 360 because the get-in cost was zero. It's very powerful, and there is a learning curve, but now looking at other packages they seem strange. Check out f-engrave for text engraving and doing enlays. I've done several enlays with it and they came out perfect, and it's free.
