Adam made use of the Centroid APi and wrote his own UI to replace CNC12 (its just running in backgroud) he has strong prgramming skils!
he used microsoft visual studio and c# along with the Centroid APi to create the screens he needed for this project.

Hi Keith,

ok, is there a better and easier way to get a PLC to control the CNC12 for automation ?

You could have your PLC create a g-code file and then set up a aux button on CNC12 to execute the g-code file.

basic documentation is included with every CNC12 installation.

look in the folder called "CncSkinningDocumentation" (soon to be renamed "Centroid Api")

in the cncm or cnct directory
