Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
There are lots of joysticks for two axis moving, like in any RC control, or here is an example of a profile measuring machine in my job. But these are analogue, more throw, more speed, or in RC controls more travel speed depending on what is controlled. Uwe Uwe, I already asked about analog joystic...

Re: Remote heartbeat
you'll find once you get the machine configured and running you never look at the heartbeat again. Jep, turn on and make parts. I usually do not bother with heartbeat, ever though I am testing lots of beta software :lol: Uwe Only time I need to look at the heartbeat is when installing fresh install...

Re: Centroid Operator Control Panel Interface Board: USB-BOB
By the schematic you have provided, they say to connect LED to source voltage. You could always add in a low value resistor - maybe 100 ohms in series.

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?
I'm mot sure if the 100 ohm resistors for enable, & step and direction signals are required on the Acornsix for the Clearpath steppers which are required on the Acorn. I I used a small breadboard I had lying around to mount the resistors to just to make the install a little easier. My experience...

Re: USB Switch
If you have an older desktop PC around you can try TrueNAS, it's free and works great as a shared network storage solution. Problem I found with off the shelf NAS is support after production ends. After two NAS systems which weren't able to be supported to my satisfaction after production ended, I s...

Re: ATC/Auto Dust Shoe conversion
Looks great, does your post processor calculate the height of the dust shoe to material?

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.
yeah if you bail mid homing cycle you can sometimes interrupt the cycle while the axes are un paired. there is a command that re-pairs them after it is square'd up in the home program...so, if you cancel out after it un-pairs but before it re-pairs then the machine is left in the un-paired state. a...

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.
Chris, I haven't run into this issue with G30 until this release. I did not set Z value at 20.8099, this is being written by the Wizard. My max Z travel is set to 14 7/8". 20.8099 is my machine Y value for the touch plate. Can you help identify where the 20.8099 Z value is being generated? The ...
