Tackle one issue at a time and it's easier. On the vfd remove it from acorn completely and you can use a 9v battery to simulate the 0-10v speed input, and you should be able to touch two wires together to make it run. Once you have the vfd working without acorn, then it's easier. I do these all the ...

All the relay does is touch two wires together.

Get the vfd running and programmed without acorn attached. You should be able to use a 9v battery to simulate the 0-10v and touch two wires together for spin fwd. You don't just plug in a vfd. They have to have parameters set for how you want them to ...

It sounds like you are using an auto tool change post processor. If you are not running the machine as an atc, you need a different post processor, or modify what you have. That's why I said post a toolpath so we can see what it's doing. It is calling for a tool change from the sounds of it. What ...

I say this all the time buy you can run the spindle and vfd without acorn. You should be able to touch two wires together for fwd and use a 9v battery for the 0-10 input. This takes acorn out of the equation and you are just figuring out the spindle and vfd. After it's working as it should, go back ...

For homing proxy's I see no problem with it. If it were going to be set up as a limit proxy, I would lean more towards N/C. For the rotary, if it doesn't stop at the proxy, it doesn't really crash anything either.

Try to insert this just before the file extension

POST_NAME = " 1313 Centroid (inch) (*.cnc)"

If you want it to include some of this info, you can add these lines

" [91]FILENAME: [TP_FILENAME][93]"
" [91][TIME], [DATE][93]"
" "
" [91]MATERIAL size: [XLENGTH][34] x [YLENGTH][34] x [ZLENGTH][34][93 ...

Read through this one compared to yours. Modify as you wish. It also turns on M7 and M8 Dust collection and Vac hold. It parks in the back after the file is done so check that location. No M6 tool changes will be called for. Put it in your my post section under application data folder of vcarve and ...

Uwe,
You can call it short cutting, but the G43 is always active for me. I see no reason to cut it off and turn it back on all the time. I do the same with ATC machines, hybrid that have a pause for a manual change and auto measure to resume, and manual when I rebuild them. My measure routine ...

So your system does not have a M6 tool change set up and it is not ATC. Any T commands calling for a tool change would be best left out of the post processor also. If you want help with the post processor, post it here and we can give you options to revise it. G49 turns off tool length compensation ...

I removed all of the G43 and G49 parts in my post processor. Also it is calling for a tool change and I don't think you have an atc machine.
