Hi, Those who read my postings may recall that I mentioned that " the downloaded file from DIYCNCSCOTT MFUNC6.mac was ignored. The only difference with this file is that the type is 'Text Document' instead of 'MAC File' ." I went back to download DIYCNCSCOTT file again and throughout the p...

Ken Rychlik What are you doing to measure the first tool before the cutting starts? I follow the procedure to assign the Part Zero values. For the Z axis, I jog the bit until it contacts the work-piece. Remember, I don't have an auto-tool-changer thus, I don't think entering the tool bits length on ...

Marty,
I'll do that. Maybe in there I'll find the reason why I don't have a file MFUNC6 to begin with.

Thank you very much,

Hi, To do the test you have suggested, I decided to rename the MFUNC6 file that I downloaded from DIYCNCSCOTT to MFUNC6XXX, so this first test is with my configuration as it was originally since I installed the Acorn software. So, I ran the test on MDI typing just M6 and this is what happened when I...

Hi Shawn, Most likely you went thru the next scenario: I spent a few thousands on making my own CNC machine and when the time came to decide how to generate g-code I was out-of-money. Thus, based on my past RPG programming experience, I decided to write my own g-code based on drawing the parts (to a...

Hi, After getting sick for a while, I'm back playing with the CNC machine. I have a project in which I have to use 4 different router bits. I don’t have a tool changer thus I need to use the manual process that code M6 provides. Since what M6 provides is very limited, I decided to use the custom fun...

I have the CNC12 PRO version. I wanted to test a G-Code program running the GRAPH button. This program uses a WHILE statement. The system is sending the message shown below. I terminated the process and jumped into the Centroid M-Series Operators Manual to see the syntax for the operation code and t...

I am studying the Operator's Manual. Since it is based on version 11 it is hard to follow and thus I know I'll have more questions in the future.

I'll post those question here in the forum, so if you see them, I'll appreciate your input.

Thank you very much!

Hi Marty,
Thanks for your help, even when your time is short.

Yes, the machine is homing OK.

I made the MAX RATE and FAST JOG changes as requested and they work fine.


Are we getting close to finish the set up?


Thanks again,

Arturo
