Re: spindlecoolingfan on m37

I've gone through all I can think of and something changed with the logic on the spindlefan. M37 should not turn it on. Behind the scenes I know a M37 is basically enabling the PWM, similar the M3/M4. The fan logic needs to detect m37 is active and not come on I believe. I've attached a report in ca...

spindlecoolingfan on m37

The SpindleCoolingFan comes on when the M37 is entered to turn on the laser. I know this was not happening in 4.82, not sure about after that. How can this be prevented? I use SpindleCoolingFan to run my water pump on the spindle. Makes no sense to do that while lasering. I use this output since it ...

Config utility bug

I just upgraded from 5.0 to 5.06. I notice that you've renumbered some skin events that resulted in aux13&14 being reassigned from skinevent 66/67. In the config wizard however, the lines for these still show they are skinevents 66/67 when they should show as 24/25. Had me wondering why my butto...

Bummer... Intel stopping NUC computer production

Just read Intel is no longer planning to make the tiny little NUC computers, like we use on our machines.

They are going to encourage third parties to continue.

I imagine Centroid may want to start a list of which are good vs which to avoid.

Linux?

Is all this push to the cloud for Microsoft windows going to break the system at some point? I've read more than once that MS wants Windows 12 to be cloud based. Any path onto Linux?

Re: Home All limit switch wiring

I had a prior thread on this, and am hoping to see a HomeLimitAll added to the list of choices. I am running open loop, so soft limits become more questionable.

Probe status indicator in vcp

I have a probe that uses normally closed config. I'd like to show the status on the vcp. When it is disconnected, it appears as triggered however. The PLC logic uses both detect and trigger in determining what to do, but I can't find a way to not have the disconnected state appear as a detection. Ha...

It was the wcs coordinates screen under motors if I'm remembering correctly. But I just went in there and it is drawing fine now.
