Re: MPG Client: Error!

VCP loads and then disappears

A year after moving into my new house, I've finally gotten around to getting my CNC machine up and running. I'm trying to setup a new PC to run CNC12, and am having an issue where the VCP disappears a few seconds after launching. Any idea on how to fix this? I double checked I set all the PC/firewal...

Re: ProbeApp V3: Test and Improve Touch Probe Accuracy

Great work Swissi! Always excited to see new features being added.

Wow Swissi, thanks for taking the time to explain how I could modify the post to get this working. I'll take a crack at it and share my results.
