Just click on the VCP icon in the status bar and it will minimise and maximize.

You're welcome! Love to see pictures of your machine and what you're working on. Marty I'd be glad to post some pics when I get it back together and complete. I have the front switch panel off the machine right now to replace the main power switch. This particular china machine had the e-stop butto...

Is there a Wizard setting that controls the EN pins on the Acorn board? I had to swap Acorn boards and now I can't get the Clearpath motors working. I'm using only Step, Direction, and Enable on the Clearpath motors. It was all working prior. I thought I got all the Wizard settings correct, but app...

Do you have the Virtual Control Panel on your monitor? Everything you need is really right there.... You do need a wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio monitor. Save up for the wireless MPG! Marty Yes, I have the VCP on my screen and yes everything is right there. The VCP is great and easy to use. Can’t w...

Thanks for the reply Marty, I have a print out now next to my monitor showing me the keyboard jog panel, I have the screen popup disabled so it doesn't come up every time I hit alt-j. I have the jog panel image along with my customized AUX labeled button on a chart for a quick reference. I just boug...

Thanks

Great, let me know. I’m a pilot and aircraft owner myself. Of course I don’t own a 737 or 767.

Yes, the stock PP is setup for multi tool changes as is and yes the removal of the M6 will simply make it into a single tool PP. I have several other changes I did that are specific to my machine like turning on relay outputs for spindle coolant and dust collection and I also have a "park"...

I agree with what Gary is saying. I too use Vectric software and have two post processors I created from the stock one that is included in the Vectric software. I have a "single tool" PP where I removed M6 tool change line and it starts cutting right after I set Z zero with my movable touc...

I use AutoCAD 2016 and in the schematic zip file from Centroid there are DWG files for every PDF schematic. I dont have the electrical toolset. I took the one for the Leadshine drive and modified it so it's exactly like the wiring on my machine. Changed the VFD to match my Fuling VFD, Omron home swi...
