Re: ATC/Auto Dust Shoe conversion

Looks great, does your post processor calculate the height of the dust shoe to material? Thanks, Yes it does. I'm using Swiss's probe app with the ATC add-on that has a section to add a macro for what ever you want to happen before and after a tool change, which cncsnw wrote (thank you :) ). The du...

ATC/Auto Dust Shoe conversion

Over a year ago, I decided to convert my cnc router to an ATC. Along the way I saw a video that showed a ATC with a auto dust shoe, so why not give it go. This is a new hobby for me and it's been quite a learning experience, building a control cabinet along with separate cabinet for the VFD and a fe...

Re: sample g code and/or intercon files that i can include with the CNC12 installer

Here's a couple pf pic's of a box I just made, not sure if this something your looking for. I used Vectric software to generate the code, worked fine.

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

I've had the same issue with the MPG (MPG-6)... set to the smooth response.

At times, using the hand wheel, there is bit of a delay and jerky motion.

Getting a 501 Error at start up, which stops loading cnc12, but will load cnc12 when I try a second time. Doesn't appear to be any other issues.

Tried different usb ports, no difference. Also not getting any error messages. Must be one of those pesky Gremlin's :twisted: Bill re...

Re: Teknic Clearpath Hard Stop Homing Setup

Hi Joey, I deleted the homing file that was being used from the cncm directory and went back into the wizard to generate the homing program, same results. The machine will home, but only one motor (Master) on the Y axis will move using the MPG right after homing. If I cycle the paired axis button on...

Re: Teknic Clearpath Hard Stop Homing Setup

Did some more testing and found, that after homing, using the VCP jog buttons and MDI to jog the Y axis works fine. Seems to only happen when using the MPG right after homing. If I jog the axis after homing with the VCP Y axis jog buttons, MDI or cycle the axis paired button. Then the MPG works :? R...
