Rookie question... I updated my router to 5.06 and my virtual control now contains laser related buttons, and I've lost "return to machine zero"; have I missed a check-box somewhere during the installation?! (Also I managed to wipe all my settings when installing, so spent m' spare time ov...

We have wmpg-6 now! Just need to get it on the website. Ask diysales@centroidcnc.com and they will hook you up. Thanks Keith! I've just had an email from Nancy with a link, and will be placing an order soon! :D Question; which version of CNC12 should I use to run a 6-axis lathe?! (X, Y, Z, and Rota...

Many thanks for the info!

Just realised you're the chap with the excellent YouTube AcornSix videos; excellent work you're doing there! I've been following with great interest!

There's a WMPG-6 on the way...?! Any idea when?

sure..its the axis selector switch that hogs up a bunch of inputs..so yes you can do it, is it practical? not really. AcornSix has three encoder ports so you can dedicate a hard wired MPG per axis on a lathe. On a slight tangent (not wanting to hijack this thread; sorry! :? ), is it possible to con...

Quick update. When running the homing cycle (with auto squaring), occasionally the dwell stalls, and I have to press cycle start to get the sequence going again; I'm guessing this would be considered an interruption?

Thank you all! I am using the auto square routine, so it sounds like that could be the culprit. Auto square seems to run OK, and it hasn't failed since I first set the machine up (had slave and master set incorrectly). The loss of the travel limits appears to be a bit random; sometimes it zeroes eve...

Hello all, first time poster here! :) Successfully converted my shop built router from Arduino/steppers to Acorn/hybrid steppers. All seems to be working well, but I'm having trouble with the software travel limits. Having entered the travel limits for my router, they seem to save OK, but then a cou...
