Much obliged! Had no idea about that feature.

Milling ABS (pulse) ring slots in intercon
Hello,
I'd like to mill 60 radial slots on my custom ABS ring. Basically everything is a lathe work except those slots. Is that something that's doable in intercon (acorn, most recent version of cnc 12)?
I don't have cnc12 in front of me now so I can't look around at the moment. The way I see it ...

Re: Thread milling with single point tool question
Thank you! I kind of presumed that the answer would go in this or similar direction. In my industry (software engineering) this sort of solution would be considered "a hack" - seemingly not so much in CNC world 
Best,
Bruno

Thread milling with single point tool question
Hi all,
I have two single point thread milling tools ordered from Lakeshore Carbide and have tried thread milling cycle - internal. It worked, but clearance between tool shank and edge of the hole was so small that I thought the tool will break. Can someone explain me how Centroid knows the ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes
So, interesting news here - the only thing I needed to do was to upgrade to latest version of centroid. After that things magically started working without resends, stress test passed without issues. I took computer, brought it home, made OS upgrade which also updated all Intel drivers and retested ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes
I agree, idea is to shutdown everything not needed and retest. I will do that today.
Both setups used shielded wiring, even magnetic ferules on cable ends. One of the reasons I switched to Clearpath was getting their OEM wiring which seems to be good and moving drivers away from electronics ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes
You must everything get to work right, no noise disturbing communication and a working network setup.
You can try this with Intel:

Also on my PC with Intel chip I have to turn on Acorn first then the PC, or for some reason I ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes
Changing the NIC settings wont help if you have a noise issue. Leave the spindle off and test the system to see if you still have resends. Run several air cuts without the spindle and then look at your error log again. Please do one change at a time so you know what the actual issue was. USB to ...

Re: Probing gets interrupted sometimes
You can run stresstest.cnc if you have updatet to 4.80
This will show you if the connection ist ok or not.
If your PC have an Intel Network chip, is needs some changes in the advanced setting to get rid of resends.

Given that I have been experiencing same issues with two drastically ...
