Re: USB-bob on Oak
The Wizard supports the USB BOB for Acorn, Acorn 6, and Hickory. For other boards you will need to compile the PLC program yourself.
I would recommend trying to get one function working, then add functions on from there. The PLC code documentation from Centroid is very good.

Re: BOB Control panel for CNC Router with 3 Axis Joystick Control
I'll check into what a small batch of interface boards would run.
There are a few parameters for the analog joystick which may need to be configured in the micro-processor based on application.
The dead-zone - center range of joystick movement which will produce no movement - this would likely ...

Re: BOB Control panel for CNC Router with 3 Axis Joystick Control
I wish analoge Joystick support would be built in...
Uwe
Thanks.
After working with adding the analog joystick over the past few months with the RPi and Arduino, I don't think analog joystick control could be incorporated within the current USB-BOB board design without significant effort ...

Re: Acorn suddenly stopped homing
Please post a report.
Check the Wizard and make sure it is still configured for homing/auto square. If you interrupt the machine during a homing sequence you may need to reconfigure the settings in the Wizard.

Re: Define touch plate probe
If you set up the Avid Touch Plate and change the dimensions to match your plate in the Wizard it should work fine.
If touching off a corner and setting X-Y-Z, the Z will probe in the center of the touch plate. It will be up to you to make sure that your bit is in the correct location for touching ...

The executive decision process has been working fine. IMO it is more expedient than decisions by committee or consensus, as long as it is done by a qualified individual or team. I consider Keith qualified.

Re: Manual machining still possible?
As I understand it, short answer is "no"
Long answer is: You can use a microcontroller to read the analog joystick values and convert them to quadrature signals you connect at the BOB handwheel inputs? (bonus: add handwheel inputs)
Sounds like a feature request @centroid.
I really liked the ...
