Re: Homing routine for NO vs NC stops on limit switch for Y paired axis

Marty he's looking for the controller to display the last line of gcode prior to a error while running a program. So say he graphed the program prior to running it and there were no errors. Then while running the job say a limit switch bugged out and stopped the job on line 5000, he's asking if he c...

Re: Retrofit of an Industrial CNC Pro Router

Maybe it's my phone, when I click on the link it says the pdf can't be downloaded. Either way every time I see anyone asking about leadshine drivers the response always is to use the db25 with a bob. I would use the db25 and a db25 bob so you don't need to mess with resistors. I looked up the manual...

Re: Retrofit of an Industrial CNC Pro Router

The screw terminals don't put out 24v the drivers have to have a voltage input on them. I'm pretty sure with out looking at the pdf since it didn't work, you just need to use the db25 like the other leadshine drivers.

Re: Auto Square with NO NPN Proximity Sensors issues

Sounds good Keith, I just need to figure out how to use the internet with the Acorn. My pc only lets me do one or the other, it's a cheapo Lenovo refurb with one of those USB wifi adapters. Any ideas on how to get them to work at the same time? I'm not a windows super user, I just barely started usi...

Re: Auto Square with NO NPN Proximity Sensors issues

So here's where I'm at after spending two days working on this. V4.14 Auto Square works on my machine V4.18 does not for some reason. The Gecko 214v drives do not use a enable jumper in case anyone else tries using a jumper, it will disable both drivers and you have to cycle the power on the acorn t...

Re: Auto Square with NO NPN Proximity Sensors issues

Ok so I went back to v4.14 and auto square works minus the enable jumper wire. The jumper disables my Gecko 214v drivers and since I don't have my fault reset and alarm set up on the drivers, I have to power cycle the board for them to enable again. It also does some other things to the wizard such ...

Re: Auto Square with NO NPN Proximity Sensors issues

Ok so I tried uninstalling cnc12 and reinstalling it, input all my wizard settings and still no luck with the auto square. Have there been any changes to CNC12 v4.18 since it's original release? I didn't redownload it from Centroid since I already had the zip file from when it very first came out. A...
