Re: RTG - Job Progress
I hear you - which is why (per my original post, again) I suggested even a percentage of lines of code completed, or based on the job estimate (which is already calculated on the graphing tab - so this estimate code is already part of CNC12). All the suggestions I proposed are not rewrites of the sy...

Re: RTG - Job Progress
Thanks for replying, Unfortunately there is no progress info on either screen, only a "time elapsed". Switching between screens doesn't change that. As per my original post, I'm not picky about what kind of progress, just something to get a feel for how far a program has gone. Is there a s...

Re: RTG Screen Refresh Rate
Thanks guys, but neither of those comments answered the question. I am both aware of how to set the diameter of the tool and also aware of how to remove the trail. This RTG system works well for very slow feedrates, but above about 5000mm/min and/or below about .25" it reaches its limits as sho...

RTG Screen Refresh Rate
Is it possible to change the RTG redraw rate during operation? With a faster feedrate and a smaller tool, it can be hard to see whats going on. https://i.imgur.com/IApeDiC.jpg Or alternately, could there be an option to not show the diameter of the tool, but instead just have a smoothly tracking cro...

RTG - Job Progress
Is there some way to see the progress of the job on the run screen? On the graph screen it has a projected job length, and on the G-code screen it has the elapsed time, and on the RTG screen it has.... neither lol. A Time elapsed and Time estimated both on the RTG screen would be a really nice simpl...

Re: Better Axis Pairing Method for Routers - Mimimizing Machine Damage
Thanks both. I was unable to use MEM 263 as it was unreliable. It would sometimes act as expected: like an OR gate for homeall and slavedhomeinput, but sometimes it would unexpectedly latch on and stay on. Without knowing the coding behind it, it was far too unreliable. Board and software resets did...

Re: Better Axis Pairing Method for Routers - Mimimizing Machine Damage
So the main question remains, is there a way to home such that the machine ceases motion if one of either of TWO inputs are detected, not just one? I see that there is allusion to such code in the default auto-homing program, but it appears to reference something that isn't a variable - "70263&...

Better Axis Pairing Method for Routers - Mimimizing Machine Damage
Hey all, The default automatic homing/squaring sequence for paired gantries is well detailed in the documentation put out by Centroid. I have a quick image here to summarize: 1 - Homes to slave switch 2 - Backs off slave switch 3 - Unpairs axis - no longer moves slave axis 4 - Homes master switch 5 ...
