Re: BOB Control panel for CNC Router with 3 Axis Joystick Control
That looks great. I have ordered a joystick to play around with. I like that idea quite a bit. I have a micro-controller board in my upcoming build that can do the analog to pulses conversions. Any "gotchas" I should watch out for when writing the code? I suppose a good resistance dead-zo...

Re: AUX MPG Inputs on MPG terminals of USBBOB
If you referring to the Aux Pin4 of each MPG connector on the BOB circuit board, they are not connected to anything on the board.
I am using one of mine as a terminal connector for two circuits as shown in the photo below.

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 t...

Re: File Sharing Between Acorn and PC
I am going to look again at why my Bluetooth option suddenly stopped working. It was working flawlessly, then suddenly started asking for username and password to access the shared folder. As a newbie... I tend to make changes in Fusion as I work on a project, so sharing files in this fashion is a ...

Re: File Sharing Between Acorn and PC
You could also use a NAS ( Network Attached Storage ) for both PC's to access files on. TrueNAS is free and can be installed in an old PC if you have one lying around. Then you just set up access rights for each user and appears as a networked drive on your computer. As far as Wi-Fi, your wi-fi rout...

Re: CNC12 v5.24 RC5 is now available for testing
I performed a fresh install. Initial CNC12 5.24 not resizing - I will attribute this to the prior desktop shortcut ( CNCM/cncr.exe ) not being re-written or a new one placed on the desktop and not deleting the old shortcut for CNC 12 to the latest revision of cncm/cncr.exe - adjustfortaksbar. I did ...

Re: CNC12 v5.24 RC5 is now available for testing
I'll do a fresh install this weekend and report back. The Wizard did write the basic Wizard Generated M6 set to 'No" for custom M6 macro before I selected the custom M6 after all wizard settings were written and acorn power cycled for the BOB. The standard process I try to follow is populating ...

Re: CNC12 Mill and Router Tool Library and the related setup menus for ATC, TT, Tool Height Offset Measurement method, D
Will the ATC initialization page text be updated based on the tool touch off decision/settings page?
Can the TT be configured to use a moveable touch plate in a fixed location, for example the Avid Plate placed in a fixed holder on the table @ g30 P3?

Re: CNC12 v5.24 RC5 is now available for testing
I couldn't do a full settings screen snip from the wizard, it didn't include everything to show all the settings ( Rack and F5->F8->F6) on the ATC Wizard page on my computer screen, so printed the settings in Wizard and snip from Acrobat to show everything. I did the snip of the bottom of the page o...

Re: CNC routing plywood panels that might not be perfectly aligned on the table
I would try the Method Keith suggests first. If that doesn't work for you, drill some holes in your MDF table for wood dowels, 3 should be sufficient to align, two on one side ( Y axis), one on the other ( Y Axis), use your vacuum table or glue and tape to hold down, remove the dowels before trimmin...
