Re: TB270 and TB309(Rev4) Comm error unresolved

Chief_hacker you are a life saver!

I have been fighting com issues since I updated CNC12 last month... so frustrating!

I agree that this should be added to the COM issues tech bulletin.

Re: Overwriting Loaded Job

Parameter 417 fixed the saving over the loaded job file. Keith, I am talking about saving over the file that is current displaced as "Job Name" at the top of CNC12. I post directly to the machine, so when I do post fusion asks "are you sure you would like to overwrite the file" o...

Overwriting Loaded Job

I recently updated CNC12 for the first time since 2019ish? I updated in late December 2023 and am enjoying many of the updates... however I lost one of the most amazing features! Saving over the job that is loaded... Now I used to be able to do this, as long as the job was not actively running. I se...

Re: Screw Comp, The Easy Way? (Macro question)

the M102 solution is entirely reasonable. The #502x and #504x variables are set at the beginning of the program cycle, and then are updated when (and only when) the axis makes a commanded move. Since the 'M' axis never makes a commanded move, it never gets updated. Arguably, CNC12 should be smart e...

Re: Screw Comp, The Easy Way? (Macro question)

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, M123, M223 and the other prompt M-codes don't like high number variables. The work around is to assign your value to a lower number variable (in the #100 range), and then use that variable in your output statement. I had a post on spring winding back ...

Re: Screw Comp, The Easy Way? (Macro question)

I didn't try M223, but I did try M123 P#5025, with the same result. I also tried to have the machine do something else with that variable before it went and grabbed it to write with the M124, the only thing I could think of was a G92 H0. However this gave me an error that didn't stop the program it ...

Screw Comp, The Easy Way? (Macro question)

I was inspired by Uwe to finally get my scales finished up so that I could run a screw comp... I have already mapped the X screw, but am unhappy with it and want to do some testing of the mapping itself (map it at different speeds/distances and what not). I made a cable to connect the read head of t...

Re: Allin1DC and Fanuc Yellow Cap DC Servos

Thanks for the response Arrow! This is really want I was thinking too. I really want to get rid of the Fanuc drives in order to get something more modern/easy to service. Also, I am hoping to have all of this be single phase when this is said and done, and currently (I think) the drives take 3ph. Th...

Re: Allin1DC and Fanuc Yellow Cap DC Servos

In an ideal world, if I had money, I would upgrade to newer servos and drives. I got a quote from DMM before I even bought the machine and they were just under $2500 before shipping and taxes, but I am not sure I really like there servo. I have read a quite a few things about people not being able t...
