Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Bit of a delay on a video due to a few bugs in the turret program. Eh, it happens, but support is working them out and hopefully soon I'll get that pawn video made!! I'm waiting on some new tooling anyway, since my turret didn't work before I started this project, never got to test out my existing t...

Just an FYI, removed the report file as it won't work with the new version of CNC12 plus we ended up finding a few bugs. Working through them now and will post a new report with working copy compatible with the latest version of CNC12 and the bugs worked out.

Very nice work. Looking forward to watching the video of it running and changing tools. Congrats on the progress. Marty Thank Marty....you and me both!! :D Here's a close up of the encoder mount. I was going to mill one out, but ended up being more complex that I really wanted it to be. The 3D prin...

Been slacking a bit lately (actually other stuff came up), but finally finished up my drive pulley conversion today to timing belts and pulleys along with the encoder mount. Working great now, just need to go back and calibrate the signal converter again to the new pulleys. Getting really close to l...

Nicely done!

Use a side-by-side file comparison utility to quickly identify differences between different versions of the PLC program source. I use WinMerge: http://www.winmerge.org . There are others that work as well. Wow, that program is awesome! Didn't realize it would allow a side by side comparison to pic...

When you start adding your own code to the PLC program, typically it will be spread out over many sections. So if you need to find just your code again and to track changes you made, add a special comment to the end of all the lines of code you added or change. Then it's as simple as using NotePad++...

Forgot to add the part about moving the square box around on the I/O panel using the arrow keys before forcing or inverting an out or in.

Video suggestion. Just write a little bit of code that all it does in a series of tool changes. You can put in a one second dwell in between. Press cycle start and then just pan back and forth from the lathe to the control screen. Thanks, I'll GIT R DUN sometime today hopefully. Trying to work on t...
