Re: V5.1 Lathe distance to go isn't working

I was not able to replicate the issue with your report.

Usually, the X moves in the G-code I tested with was very short and the distance to go was shown briefly since the X move was very short and quickly executed.

What most people do is have the slider set to no press write setting to cnc control at least once which sets all ATC parameters proper...

Re: drivers ok with centroid? and circuit board standoffs

The Wiring looks the same. Schematic S15034 will work. You want continuity from the stand offs all the way thru to the cabinet. All ground and Shields should be Attached at a single point bar or terminal strip Not 100% sure on the stand off length but I think for the Acorn at least a 1/4 inch length...

Re: Laser Alignment

Selecting set XY will still set the WC 0 with out the laser offset.

Selecting the button on the VCP that says Set XY with a crosshair around it is the button your looking for.

Re: Laser Alignment

I think your using the machine coordinate to find the laser Offset Try this Fire the torch on the material so that it makes a mark on the material. After firing the torch and marking the material, select the WCS 0 button on the VCP. Now enable the laser and jog the laser cross hair to the center of ...
