If you want the single line call, yes. If you're not interested in upgrading, you can cheese it a little with public CentroidAPI.CNCPipe.ReturnCode SetUserVariable(int variableNumber, double newValue) { var cncPipe = new CentroidAPI.CNCPipe.Job(m_pipe); string command = "#" + variableNumbe...

What version of software are you using? The SetSystemVariable call was added in CNC12 v5.24

The calls GetCurrentLineInfo(out int line_number, out int program_number, out int stack_level) and GetCurrentStackLevelZeroLineInfo(out int line_number, out int program_number) will give you the current executed line information. GetCurrentLineInfo line_number - The current line number of the curren...

Is it possible to configure a button on the VCP launch an external program? Thanks in advance. Yes, in the .xml for the vcp button you'll do <vcp_button> <app>C:\path\to\your\program.exe</app> </vcp_button> This is how the plasma profile manager is launched in the plasma software.

Yes, CNCPipe.Job.SetSystemVariable(...) which has an overload for the string variables as well. Please note that #1-#149 are initialized to 0 before the beginning of a job and not every variable is writeable. More information on variables can be found in the manual in section 11.2.16: https://www.ce...

Hello there. I am keen to explore the feasibility of dynamically controlling machining parameters—such as spindle speed, depth of cut, and more—using a programming language like Python or C during the machining process. By this way, I can monitor the machining quality and improve it by adjust the p...

I have to wear the hat of shame at least for a day :mrgreen: Multimeter was showing action on axis 4.... ... the reason I could not see anything moving was that Wizard preset Feedrate Home is 10 in 5.23 not 254 as usual. 10 deg/min is so slow on a rotary that I thought it is not moving at all :D Uw...

found an issue with Mill and Router part zero F7 auto zero macro so, making a fix and will put up a rev6 on Monday. I have just installed 5.23 this new encoder max error feature is perfect. I got 410 Error with encoder on rotary axis faster than f6000 in 5.22. This is now ok in 5.23 But now there i...

Small hopefully only cosmetic bug in Acorn Six with encoder expansion board. It shows counts/inch on a metric system for the expansion encoder ports in the wizard. An I am still wondering if counts/deg will also work on a rotary axis ;) Uwe I can confirm that this is only cosmetic, mm input is ok o...

Hello I finally got the router going...plasma is moving too :D I am playing with this to get used to it. After I ran a few cuts today and when I closed Cncn12 there was a bunch of txt files created on my desktop. How would I set for these to go in a folder and not on the desktop? And one stupid que...
