Re: Xkeys USB Keypad Operator Control Panel for Centroid CNC

The image files are for labeling the keys as you have already done. The Legends are not for labeling the buttons when you are in macroworks. If a key is programmed there will be a blue Check, if not programmed it will be blank. I have never seen nor attempted to have images on the buttons when in Ma...

Re: Yaskawa V1000 and Mitsubishi SJ-N SPindle motor

Once I get things working....

The only issue to be resolved is the DriveOk signal from the V1000 to the Acorn. The status on the Input/Output panel (Alt-i) is always red.

Digging deeply into the Yaskawa information, the jumper needs to be in place or a safety switch needs to be placed across the terminals.

Re: Wireless MPG Problems

Nope, going to try it on another machine, if the problem follows the MPG then we will look in that direction...

I think at this point the proximity of the two antennas is likely the issue. We will see.

Re: Wireless MPG Problems

I thought I had it whipped when I switched back to the disposable alkaline batteries, because of the lower operating voltage. No such luck. The only issue is this is extremely intermittent. I will try to capture this goofiness. Anything specific you want to see outside of the dial being turned and t...

Re: Wireless MPG Problems

I am coming to this party very late... I have had issues with the Wireless MPG exhibiting the same issues from time to time. It is very intermittent in nature. I was searching the forums for something else and after a period of time stumbled on this post. You will be turning the knob at an even cons...

Re: Yaskawa V1000 and Mitsubishi SJ-N SPindle motor

Re: Yaskawa V1000 and Mitsubishi SJ-N SPindle motor

OK, everything went well with the tuning and no load operation of the spindle seems fine. The rest of the controls are still a work in progress. I attempted to test some of this bu feeding 5vdc into the unit, no spindle run though. I am wondering if I have to deal with VFD Reset and Spindle OK input...

Yaskawa V1000 and Mitsubishi SJ-N SPindle motor
