Re: Acorn and Emcoturn 120 with 8-tools-turret

With that old .src from the ATC-files i'd loose many new features i'd like to keep... like diagonal jogging and such things. But for a programmer-noob like me it seems like the atc-functionality is in the newer .src-files, too. Is this true? Is the actual .src (that comes with every new CNC12-instal...

Re: Adding a 20% feeds button to VCP

But WMPGs are like dogs, you can live without them, but it makes no sense :mrgreen: Uwe And this is why I ordered one yesterday :D But that macro can be used via the Aux-Buttons on the VCP, too. You don't need the WMPG to use that Macro I think. AND there are videos on YouTube about using the Aux-B...

Re: Acorn and Emcoturn 120 with 8-tools-turret

Luckily for you I think there is an existing macro that should work. The counter based one probably. I really hope they are working^^ I will need the gray-code-one-output-src for my emcoturn. But if i remember correctly, Marty had his turret working with the same macro, so i am hopeful :D I am usin...

Re: CNC12 Languages

I had to learn that, too :D
In german forums it is common sense, that you don't open new threads for the same topic, if an older one already exists.
But here you SHOULD open a new (own) thread for your questions and topics, even if there are already older threads with the same topic.

Re: XY Jogging now available. Test it out... V4.79 rev3 BETA Now available.

@cnckeith
Thank you for your answer (and for all your videos and manuals ;-))

Maybe this can be mentioned in the manual?
I suppose, the spindlebenchtest will be used by beginners most of the time.
Beginners, that often don't know much about RTG and such stuff yet.

Re: Acorn and Emcoturn 120 with 8-tools-turret

Hey guys, just a short follow-up here for now, the "big built-thread" will be written later on, without that many questions in between^^ The lathe moves and spins now, the turret can be moved via activating the correlating output-relay. Encoder works, spindle-speeds are tuned to the follow...

Re: Prox Switch Help [Resolved]

You could also trigger an extra little relay with every prox sensor and wire the relays in series (NC-contacts used). So you 'd get a NC-circuit for your acorn and cables and still be able to use every prox sensor you want to, even mixed. The small relays are very fast, too, about 8-10ms, and as the...

BAM, got it! It was the setting "Speed and Duplex" in Device Manager -> Network-adapter -> advanced settings -> 10. from top (it's german here, so i can't tell you what it is called in english, exactly. It was set so "automatic", that didn't work. Set it to 100MBit/s full-duplex...
