Re: Feed Hold NOT working - just added FeedHold2 physical button/input

Thank you very much guys!

I now have Cycle Start(VCP / Physical), Feed Hold (VCP / Physical) working on the machine. Moving forward with the addition of more M-Codes, Outputs, and Macros. If anything new comes up, I will start a new thread.

Re: Feed Hold NOT working - just added FeedHold2 physical button/input

After having a number of unusual problems with Acorn, per the suggestions here I have reinstalled CNC12 and started over. Using only the WIZARD to make configurations, BEFORE adding the physical buttons, I tested Cycle start and Feedhold on the VCP and they work as expected. Then, using the wizard, ...

Re: Shuttle Express & Feed Hold problems

You found this video correct?: Are you modifying the personality file trying to do something else? PLEASE post a FRESH report as well. Yes I watched the video and read the document and I had the shuttle express working fine. I don't even know what the "personality file" is or where I coul...

Re: Shuttle Express & Feed Hold problems

CNC programs were copied to the cncm\ncfiles directory from a USB. Offset and Tool libraries files have not been copied, moved, edited or otherwise touched by me outside of the CNC 12 software. Could it be that I am using the shuttle incorrectly? Am I suppose to turn it off after making my jog moves...

What were you expecting to see? Should I get the machine into the condition where that alarm is showing and then do the repo...
