Thank you

Re: Sync spindle ratio with encoder

For spindle speed display, and for following thread lead in rigid tapping, you can do what you ask by adding 16 to Parameter 36. This will tell CNC12 that it needs to divide the spindle encoder counts by the active gear ratio parameter (P65, P66 or P67) when not in high gear. As Tom points out, you...

Re: Sync spindle ratio with encoder

Sorry. The spindle encoder most be connected at 1:1 with the spindle. It may take some work, but there is usually a way to get an encoder directly connected or connected with a 1:1 toothed belt to the spindle. The issue is not really the encoder counts, but the index count which MUST occur only onc...

Sync spindle ratio with encoder

Hi there I’m trying to get my encoder synchronised with spindle. My motor is geared with spindle by ratio 0.55. I got no way to connect encoder with spindle directly so i have connected my encoder with motor. The encoder has 8000 steps. To get right reading i had to divide 8000 with 0.55 which is 14...

Selling acorn with licence… ownership change

I’ve just sold one of my old acorn which had licence on it and successfully replace it with new one (and waiting for the new licence for the new board). So question is do i need to contact centroid for board and (or) licence ownership change when selling to another person? Is the licence or board li...

So good news… the second fix works nicely. Thank you

Attached is another modified PLC for the door. Same as before, extract to your directory and overwrite files. It is pre-compiled.

Let us know if it works out!
Thanks… will let u know.. however I’ve added licence to my cnc12 today so is it save to overwrite the files anyway?

That way Chris can take a look at it and see what you did or didn't do, or what the software IS or ISN'T doing
