Re: Emco PCTurn 120 Spindle wiring help

The thermostat is just a switch, it doesn't care what voltage is running through it. Either way works

Re: Best way for barcode integration?

Here might be something to give you ideas:

The API allows you to load a program. You'd have to write a small program to read the file name from the barcode and call the API to load it into CNC12.

Re: Emco PCTurn 120 Spindle wiring help

It seems like that is more complicated than necessary. Just run you motor winding thermostat through an input and assign it to spindle fault. When CNC12 receives a spindle fault it will disable the spindle.

Re: How to sell a pro license with the acorn and machine

Just include the license file along with the Acorn. Hardcopy and digital would be best.

Re: Finally did a fresh install and WPMG still not being recognized by windows

Nope. For the most part, they are all compatible electrically. USB3 operates at a higher frequency that can interfere with some of the common wireless frequencies. If it worked for a while, my guess is a Windows update "fixed" the device driver for you at some point. You might try going in...

Re: Finally did a fresh install and WPMG still not being recognized by windows

Blue ones are USB3. It should work as they are backward compatible but if you have black USB2 ports, that would be better.

USB3 signals are known to interfere with wireless devices like mice dongles and Bluetooth adapters. Try to move the WMPG base as far from USB3 ports as possible.

Use device manager to delete the device and its drivers. Then rescan for new devices, and allow it to reinstall the drivers.

Re: Software Limits Issue

That is exactly how soft limits work. They are based on machine coordinates and not work coordinates. If they are not working like that, then they are probably configured incorrectly. If you'd post a report file, we could see how they limits are configured. A video showing the behavior you think is ...

Re: Rigid Tapping Question

I would first verify that rigid tapping is working correctly by using Intercon. When all of the rigid tapping parameters are set correctly and verified with Intercon, then try it with F360.

Re: Linear Scale, cant set in CNC12

That is your spindle encoder. See section 15.2.2 in the mill manual. You should also check P35 since you are no longer using the encoder input for a spindle encoder.
