Hi, i am also planning a control pannel for the BOB. I was wondering how to handle the control of permanent functions with momentary switches.

wjh308,

I see you are on V5.06, there may of been a fix for NC probe and WMPG in V5.08. Save a backup and try installing the current V5.08 and see if that helps the situation.

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.

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...

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...

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...
