Re: CNC12 v5.08 ATC wizard issue

Hello AVP, 1. Try setting the Custom M6 macro in use setting under the CNC Control Preferences page instead of the ATC Menu. Or the ATC Menu one, which ever one you have not been trying before. 2. It appears the wizard is writing the value of the Z height flyover properly, but not reading it back in...

Thanks for pointing out the issues and providing a corrected PLC, it was indeed missing those critical pieces of logic. Should be corrected in future CNC12 V5.09+ when available.

Re: Home to limit switches.

In addition to what keith sent earlier, You need to set it to "Automatic Homing" so that CNC12 will try to seek to switches. In addition, since limitall isnt quite considered a homing input for the wizard, the cncm.hom file will need to be manually modified for this to work, so select &quo...

Re: 4th axis motor trying to turn before brake is actually released

I tried adding G4 P1.5 to the next line under the M95 /4 and get no pause. Hello, Can you create a new fresh report and send it so we can see the modifications you made. Adding a G4 should cause a small pause. Taking your earlier provided report, i modified both your M10 and M11 with a G4 of 1.5 se...

Re: Atc spins endlessly after reboot.

Thanks Gary, I have a 4th axis so thats why I am using the g216 driver its a "indexing stepper driver" controlled by a couple relays. Keith has recommended it a couple times in the facebook group and Marty did a video on it, thats why I designed around this driver. I failed to mention the...

Re: ATC functional, but gets some pockets wrong

Good morning, When provided with the updated macro, I tried it immediately on Nov 13. Then I tried the latest 5.07.r15 on Nov 21 when it was provided to me on this forum. Neither worked. One caveats: V5.07.r15 sets Param 160 to 1. Then it fails asking for a tool0position.cnc file. I set parameter 1...

Re: Problems with Centroid_OAK_Mill_SpinBrake-r2.src

Can someone tell me which input DO4 is for the Z axis so that I can program the clamping for the Z axis in the PLC? If your going to modify the PLC, any available output should work on the Oak board. Just would need to modify the PLC to support the logic you want for that Output. I recommend Output...

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

RogDC, G30 (Return #2) is used for your ATC Tool Change position, specifically the Z-Flyover height which is 20.8099 as set by you in the wizard. This value is written to G30 for the ATC. When Changing Return #2 in CNC12 there is a pop up that states that it is the Z value for the Tool change. I rec...
