"Introduction to Centroid CNC Macros"

Post by cnckeith »

Dear Acorn Power Users,
Hello. We have created a users guide called "Introduction to Centroid CNC Macros" This document is attempts to organize cnc macro information and show by example CNC macro editing and creation methods mostly geared towards Acorn CNC controllers. This document is currently is in Draft status but is nearly ready to be published.
I offer it here to get your feedback, questions and comments to improve the document for all to benefit from.
thanks in advance,
Keith

Thank you for taking the time to create something like this. I have been putting of the ATC macro on my machine for quite a while now because I just didn't fully understand macros and even editing the basic one offered was a little overwhelming to me at this point. I really like that you guys realize that some of us have virtually no knowledge of some of these things and giving us information like this really helps us out on the learning curve. I will be reading thru this getting more familiar with macros so that I can make some of my own eventually.
