Anytime I want to Park and Home, I forget to press escape a bunch of times to get back to the main screen. Is there anyway we can allow park and home from any screen?

After doing some surgery on my CNC and upgrading the motors to clearpath (finally), I am back to the point of setting up Vol. comp.
Something seems off to me. Say all my tables are empty except for 4 th column of cnc-y.tab ( X compensation). I am compensating the X axis when jogging in the y ...

Hello,
I'd like to be able to double click a DRO field on the main screen and type in what it should be. This would be an ideal workflow to, say, jog the z until a dowel pin can fit between the workpiece and the tool, and simply type in the dowel diameter into z.

If the DRO field is strictly read ...

Hello,
I would like to develop some CNC12 macros and skins away from home. It seems some posts allude to being able to use a CNC12 emulator, but I have not been able to recreate this. I think they are implying it is for "intercon" only.

H13 worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

P130=11 and P131=31 ?
Or do I just need to always leave my 4th axis on and toggle 5th axis

Hello,
My XYZ axes are differential steppers and work fine using the scout board.
I wired up the A and C axis with generic 2 phase steppers and gecko G203V drive to the Step, dir, and gnd of axis 5 and 6 on H3. I did not connect the disable pin on the acorn for debugging purposes.
The geckos have ...
