v4.18 Observation in regard to the F9 Digitiz/Probe. Scenario 1 Input 6, configured as Mech Active Open Probe type = NC Active the Probe, Can see the Tortoise LED (control panel) light red. So software can clearly see the probe activate, as does Alt-I display Try the probing routines, activating th...

Ok.. great, now adjust the VFD to match commanded RPM
see attached for step by step instructions.

feel free! swissi, i was not disagreeing with you :D (i did say "Yes" in my post... :D :shock: ) We have recommended methods that we support (here for free ) and that is what i was suggesting to do...i was simply clarifying the usefulness of a detection circuit. (all of our probes use a de...

Mkelcy,
please post screen shots of the Wizard setup screens.
Please update to v4.18. as we are not providing free tech support for older versions.

Sorry for the camera pics of the screen, but when I choose the snipping tool in win 10 the option to create new is under the wizzard screen. If ya'll know a work around for that, please share that. Thanks put the snipping tool start up icon in the task bar.. then start cnc12, start the wizard, then...

I suspect you did not press write settings to CNC control or forgot to restart CNC12 after you did so the changes would take effect. and please always post a fresh report.zip file ...

The ToolTouchOffDetect does not engage the spindle lock protection like the ProbeDetect does. BTW this is not official but NC Type probes do work without the detect signal as long as you keep them connected to the Acorn Input. Even a NC Type Touch Probe works this way but be aware that you don't ge...

Well we finally got this puppy working. I just got off the phone with Gary. We used Team Viewer so he could setup the Wizard and all the motors are working as they should.

for milling machines....i run even the 800 step clearpath encoder at 6400 with the clearpath software setup to accept it that way
