Re: API lookahead?

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...

Re: VCP and external program launch

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. You can look at ....

Re: Kitamura Mycenter Zero - DELTA Ethercat Retrofit

Also a quick question, is it possible to Debug/live view the m6 marco code? It would be useful to know what it is doing and or waiting for. Set parameter 10 to a 2, turn on Single Block Mode (F5) in the run menu, and then run a job with your tool change. This will let you step through the macro, to...

Re: API for real-time control during machining process

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...

Re: CNC12 BETA v5.23 rev5 is now available for public testing

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...

Re: CNC12 BETA v5.23 rev5 is now available for public testing

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...

Re: 12-4-24 v5.22 has been released, beta period for v5.22 is over.

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...

Re: Cnc12 creates temporary files

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...

When setting the part z zero with tool x, height offset for tool 0 is used.

In the photo, you can see that t5 was used but H0 is shown for the tool height.
In your tool library, which Height offset is set to tool 5?
Can you post a report?

Re: 10-22-24 UPDATE! CNC12 v5.20 has been released Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma is now available for public testing.

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but I have an issue with the "Job Run Options" -> "Search" function since updating to 5.22. The first time I use search (since starting CNC12), it works fine. The second time I happen to use it, it causes the application to...
