Re: CNC12 v5.1 Release Candidate #2 is now available.

using a NC touch plate assigned as a probe requires a detect. The touch plate is set as a touch plate, and it's not NC. The tool measure plunger is set as Probe and is NC (NO when triggered). Unconventional configuration I know, but it has worked flawlessly for 5 years. if you use NO touch plates i...

Re: CNC12 v5.1 Release Candidate #2 is now available.

Yes, the device on input 7 is a fixed tool measure button (metrol clone type) and there is no ProbeDetect circuit for a detect input. As stated in the referenced thread, setting parameter 404 to 70267 fixed the situation created by the new probe logic that started with v5.07r12, but it doesn't in 5....

Re: CNC12 v5.1 Release Candidate #2 is now available.

Is it possible that this issue has crept back in? I am not able to get TT or probing to work as it used to, and it seems to be acting similar the the linked post. Parameter 404 is set, but it makes no difference this time. Auto Z to plate does not stop upon touch. The input for TT does trip in the d...

Re: Homing 4th Axis

How much gap is there between the proxy and the bolt? You might need to close the gap a bit more. Also, try a flatter hex head bolt with a bit of a radius groeund on it. It might sense better. Your cncm.hom file doesn't have the home command for the 4th yet. Once you set the direction for the 4th, s...

Re: Homing 4th Axis

If the report at the top of the thread is after setting up for the 4th axis (A), then you didn't do these from Keith's post, in the wizard... - define the input that you have the rotary switch wired to as 4th axis Home Ok - go to the homing menu , select Automatic Homing, double check the homing dir...

Re: Homing 4th Axis

There should be a M91/A or M92/A before the M26/A. Post a current report since your last changes to set up the A prox.

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut

I like to just use G1 or G0, as it doesn't mess with my eyes, astigmatism, or dyslexia. :lol:

Your last two lines would then be....

G0 Z0.0000

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut

Feed rates are G01. If you want a rapid rate back to X0Z0, then you need to have G00 instead of G01. Your file is all feed rate commands of G01's.

Re: Homing 4th Axis

If you followed Keith's instructions, the homing routine (cncm.hom) will have been created, and the homing command for the 4th axis will be in it. Then upon power up, when instructed to home the machine, it will automatically do it (if you have it set up correctly).

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut

Reason, because the job file tells it to feed at 5ipm.

Solution, edit the file to use a higher feed rate.
