@centroid_tech2 I think you will need to put a public URL there for forum users to access

Yes that makes sense and I appreciate the help. What doesn't make sense to me is that I would have thought the laser align macro file (macro 76) would be updated and work properly after assigning the "LaserAlignActivate" definition to output 5 and rebooting acorn/CNC12 to update the PLC. A...

Leave output function unassigned in the wizard?

Thanks for the clarification Gary I will give that a try.

Just watched Keith's video on inputs / outputs. When manually triggered output 5 comes on normally. See screenshot:

Using M65 / M85 does not seem to toggle output 5. I tried M66 / M86 to see if it would toggle output 6 (all of this was in the laser align file) and it didn't work either. Odd. I tried assigning the work light button to one of the relays and it works just fine. Maybe I should update to the latest CN...

This seems too simple, but it's been puzzling me. What makes the LaserAlignActivate function work? It appears the button calls Macro 76: ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; Filename: mfunc76.mac ; GC Set XY to Laser ; Description: User Customizable Macro...

YES!

I agree. Solid CNC hardware/software combination at a price point that the entry level shop can afford. Thank you, Keith & Centroid!

Keith, I think Scott's suggestion here is a strong one. If the M91/M92 values need to be written to CNC12 regardless of system generated or custom cncm.hom file...then why gray out the boxes when custom homing is selected? Make it clear that those values need to be set regardless of homing file choi...
