Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!

Until they fix it. v4.99 (will be released as v5.0) vcp is fully editedable with all space available on the VCP for any function and button.

Re: Poor mans DNC without network

I have a G_Code folder for each of my CNC machines in Dropbox. When I post the code on the CAM computer the posts are setup to save to that folder. Then I walk to the machine and it’s there, local and ready to run. Same here. Dropbox works great. I don't know if I shared this before or not, but wit...

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!

Got it, makes sense. Thanks @cnckeith By the way congrats to you Keith and all the alpha testers out there. It's so amazing to see the pro grade cnc capabilities brought to hobby shops everywhere. There's nothing remotely close at the price point (my opinion). And you continue to make CNC12 better. ...

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!

A technical question about AcornSix - I hope this is the place to post it. I was studying the wiring schematics for Six and it appears that the recommendation for Clearpath motors is to use the 5V step/dir headers as opposed to the open collector headers? Could you verify this, and if that's right w...

Re: simple output control - laser align

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...
