Re: CNC12 Tool Touch Off Height Offset Z movement to point #1 Aborted

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense, because I haven't enabled my limit switches to home yet. We are still in the testing phase. I just couldn't find this message referenced anywhere to figure out what the issue was.

I know it's not standard. We have a large THK linear rail on our X ...

CNC12 Tool Touch Off Height Offset Z movement to point #1 Aborted

I'm running CNC12 v5.10 Mill, and I just hooked up a new mechanical touch off sensor. I have it set as TouchOffTriggered. I keep getting this error message, but my searching couldn't find anything on this message. I'm not exactly sure what I need to do.

Message states:
Z movement to return point ...

VCP Set X0 Y0 Z0 buttons on Milling Machine

I have a milling machine setup, and I was wanting to simply use a one button push to zero out a single axis. I used the buttons that were in the resources, like set_z_0 or set_x_0, but these did absolutely nothing beside make the screen flicker.

What can I do, or what do I need to edit to make or ...

Re: AutoZero Touch Plate Sienci Labs

Thank you for the information. I was wondering what the new features are that may be coming that would help with this before I try to code something.

I also found this useful link from them that has resources where they have made this work with other CNC software.

AutoZero Touch Plate Sienci Labs

IMG_3693-1-scaled-e1677529189888.jpg



I was wondering if anyone has seen this AutoZero Touch Plate from Sienci Labs.

Looks like a really nice setup, and shouldn't take much work to make it compatible with Centroid. I was thinking about getting one of these. The price seems quite reasonable ...

Map Physical Button Input to Macro or Aux Key

I've searched through all the manuals and post on here, but I can't seem to find any information that explains what to edit to map a input to a macro.

I have a physical button that I would like to use to index a turret (M21).

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

I have everything working perfectly with this turret. I'll post all my files and settings for anyone else with this turret soon.

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

I made these changes to the m18 function.

I didn't receive any error messages this time, but turret only moved -0.2. Then it labeled that as home.

50001 is the input for the turret. It is in input 1.

Re: Axis Driven Lathe Turret Parameters to Limit or Stop Reversal of Turret on Prolight 3000

Changing the stock amount to none might be the safest option. A user should probably get their revs/degree figured out first, before it starts reversing to lock in, since it isn't time based like with the DC motor turrets. As long as it is documented well, I don't think a user would mind. It would ...
