Two other minor bugs in the Acorn6 lathe software: set part and axis zero are with a G65 call to C:/cncm/... folder There are also some macros in the system folder only mill related. Pls check this for lathe on the other systems also. Uwe Thanks for finding these, the cncm call should be corrected ...

Thank you for replying. I see what your saying about the O codes. I'm a bit confused about the M94, M95 because I also see in the ether1616 user manual it says M61, M81 for activate and deactivate for output1.M94/ Using the MDI I cant seem to get the output relays of the ether1616 to work either wa...

I have made a non listed Video. IMHO the scale is not the root cause of the problem, even with scale, MPG and WMPG disabled after a software restart it is possible to drive on the limit switch, because after the restart and first axis move the position is nok. Software restart without rehome is not...

Just installed, no custom mods, but 410 error is still there. With my PLC change to use MPG and WMPG together also. The version I got from Andrew was nearly ok with default PLC Now after software restart X is with a delay, then jumps, stops and the DRO is still counting for a few seconds 410 X erro...

As shawnM mentioned, i would set the drive to 1600 Pulses/Rev, Acorn should match this. Most if not all Stepper motors are only 200 steps/rev, the drives perform "microsteps" to acheive higher "Steps per revolution".

Match the acorn Steps/Rev to the setting of the drive.

I have not had time to test this myself. Does anyone know whether the animated probe status graphic, shown on the various probing cycle screens, has been fixed yet so that it correctly shows the state of a normally-closed probe? Customer reports that, at least with Oak Mill v5.20, it is still backw...

Kyanite, Looking over the macro, you have M99 at the end of each Tool but nothing to call the subprogram (i am assuming you trying to call the code for each tool via a sub program). The issue with this is that it will likely prematurely end the Mfunc6.mac file when CNC12 encounters the first M99. Yo...

Hi everyone! I came across a macro that uses this code: DEFINE <CONVTOIMP> .0393701 And I was surprised, as I can't find any documentation on it. Is it documented anywhere? Are there some other advanced macro features that I can read about? Hello Corbin, You can create Defines in the macro code, th...

Utility will be fixed for next revision, and we are currently investigating the scale issue.

Appreciate you bringing these issues to light as always.

Hi! I have a simple VCP button that calls a macro via <run>. The macro does: M224 #101 " Enter Tool Number Currently in Spindle " So, I type in a number and hit enter. Then I have to hit Cycle Start before the next lines in the macro are executed. How can I avoid hitting cycle start? Than...
