Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

I figured it out.

I had saved a machine that was pointing to the v4 post processor. Apparently the machine definition overrides what's in the Post Process popup. It's strange because I deleted the v4 post processor. Maybe it just wasn't passing some of the variables.

Re: Budget touch probe options?

I posted in my build thread here: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=45550#p45550 The MP3 I purchased from the used tool dealer was DOA. I wound up returning it and buying a NIB MP3 off eBay. The MP3 was supposed to show up yesterday but apparently it has been delayed due to "Mechanic...

Re: Budget touch probe options?

I'm still waiting on my MP3 to show up. Apparently there are "Mechanical issues" with my delivery.

Re: ProbeApp V2: The ultimate solution for Tool Height Offsets

As you say, oversized tools that need an offset to be touched off on a tool setter are usually not the norm and maintaining a possible offset field for 200 tools would be overkill. What the new upcoming version 3 will have are additional configuration settings where you can choose if you would like...

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features (New Version 5)

If I choose XY Positions at end of job and select G28 OR G30 I get the following:
G90 G53 G0 X0. Y0.

Shouldn't the G53 command be a G30?

Re: ProbeApp V2: The ultimate solution for Tool Height Offsets

I'd like to make one suggestion. In the offset library manager could you add a way to input the manual offset (like say x+ 1.000")? So if I have a 3" face mill I enter X+1.500" and the probe routine moves from the tool change position X+1.500" then measures the tool. I don't have...

Re: VFD Voltage/RPM fluctuating

I'll have to see if I have anything smaller. Most of the electronics components I have are from projects 20+ years ago.
