I'm making/drawning/programming my first part in intercon
Never used cnc before, only manual lathe work.
The part is going to be a pulley for my (almost completed) converted lathe

I love the extra options and adjust-ability of the control system.
I appreciate the help on the forum as well as the videos and information that's linked to the Centroid site. A few things I couldn't find or understand was resolved through the forum. Happy New Year to everyone and thanks again ...

Is there an update for the OFFLINE Intercon in the pipeline ?

Love to see it FULLSCREEN as it has no VCP
Love to see all the new goodies from CNC12 v4.99, like COLOR PICKER and improvements

Received the dongle today and its version 4.20

Voila, my VCP is finished.
