Re: Touch screen latency, or CNC12?

Or, more likely since this seems to only occur on your machine, there is some process, like a firewall or disk encryption, that is causing the issue. Agree that this could be only my machine. Thing is, this PC was bought brand new specifically for this, so it's a clean install on a clean machine. T...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

Experienced delayed movement with the WMPG-4 last night, no video, but not getting consistent performance. Movement was jerky, and intermittently delayed from WMPG-4 commands.

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

I've had an issue with how an MPG responds with the wheel in some of the past beta's (a CWP-4 in my case)... https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=74658#p74658 ...It seems to be even more pronounce with v5.07r12. I do have a coupe of videos I can upload, but it's not as easy to tell the diff...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

I generally copy over the probing folder and the M6 along with my other custom macros after installing the betas, but before configuring anything in the Wizard (so that all my macros show up in the list for the VCP buttons). I have configured the settings in the Wizard before copying over my custom...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

Whooa, just caught up with the disappearing mfunc6.mac. I do not use an ATC BUT I do use a Custom mfunc6 with Swissi's ProbeApp. Although we now know to set "Custom M6 Macro" in the ATC section, many other Users will not. Therefore suggest this is either moved to PREFERENCES section or du...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

Installed 64 bit version without issue from v5.04.

Router - paired 'Y" axis 2 & 4
Noticed movement of paired axis motors not as smooth jogging at higher speeds.

Smoothing is not configured in 5.07v12 beta.

Will be Friday before I can delve deeper into what may be causing the issue.

Re: rapidchange ATC

I'm sure that with all the highly intelligent critiques here maybe Y'all should chime in on the creators potential downfalls as it sounds like you have much greater knowledge than he does! But I won't hold my breath as there is nothing greater than the cool aide Y'all drink and I am serious as ther...

Re: rapidchange ATC

There have been other DIY Tool Changers similar to this around for a while, mostly used with 1/8" end-mills from what I have seen. It probably has it's application on light duty milling, but as Uwe states, proper torque of the collet is essential. How many posts do you see for broken end mills ...

I am happy to announce that Centroid CNC12 v5.07 rev5 BETA is now available for download and testing.
Does this require a fresh install or should we test as an update of existing?

Re: We are working on Adding Rapid Override controls to the VCP

My vote is for the one button to toggle Rapid/Feed, less clutter. Just a thought - maybe make the Rapid/Feed button change color to the background selection For example - For normal feed rate selected and light grey border background for feed rate, the button would be dark grey For rapid Feed Rate O...
