Re: Manual machining still possible?

With Acorn Six you can have full closed loop with scales or rotary encoders, you can also have the scale position on the DRO. But turning an axis by hand is no option, even with disabled servos, only moving the axis with buttons/mpg ect. I also considered using an analog joystick, but for me, it is ...

Re: CNC12 v5.24 Mill, Lathe, Router and Plasma has been released.

Thank you. It is also not working. I think Y and C are considered as invalid with G1 G0 while searching. My workaround is: IF #4201 || #4202 THEN GOTO 26 N25 ; Drill G0 Y0 M5 T2000 M7 M51 M66 G0 C0 Y0 T2020 G0 X-32.4 Z1 G1 Z-7.5 F200 G0 Z1 G0 C90 G1 Z-7.5 F200 G0 Z1 G0 C180 G1 Z-7.5 F200 G0 Z1 G0 C2...

Re: Manual machining still possible?

Sure you can use Acorn for manual milling also, with the WMPG handwheel, MPGs on the USB BOB or jogging with VCP/WMPG/USB BOB.

Whatever you want, but with more than a single straight move, Intercon is way faster.

Re: CNC12 v5.24 Mill, Lathe, Router and Plasma has been released.

I think I have found something to improve on lathe software with Y and C Axis. If I want to restart from N60, after M51/M50 in the g code there comes a 501 error invalid character maybe because C axis is not active at this time. It would be nice to avoid this if M50 C axis off is issued in front of ...
