Thanks for your diagnostic suggestion. Once I had the other WMPG-4 connected, it controlled both the machine and the DRO consistently and precisely. Guess I need a new WMPG-4 pendant.

Thanks again Jacob.

Happy New Year

Greetings, I am having issues with an WMPG-4 Pendant on one of my machines with an Acorn control. The encoder wheel is no longer moving each axis as commanded. I can rotate the dial several clicks and nothing happens. If I move it quickly, it responds but not accurately. I've turned it in the positi...

Shawn I think you were correct. I'm not sure why. Before I performed my last test, I upgraded to V6.22r2. I made a cursory check to make certain that all my settings came thru when I loaded my most recent report. Upon checking this morning, the inputs and outputs didn't copy. After adjusting them, I...

The schematics show the TCH_RX 210721 board powered by the same power supply as the Acorn board and the THC_TX_200921 powered by the supplied Meanwell PS. I had planned on po...

Interesting!

If #150 = #4120, what is or where is #4120.

Is #4120 just a parking space for a variable?

Variable #150 had us scratching our heads. I worked on this with my son Oliver. He has a graduate degree in electrical engineering and writes code for a living. I couldn't have done it without his help. #150 was clearly the code that our tool change M6 used to identify the current loaded tool. Yet t...

Thank you Gary Campbell, CNCSW, and ShawnM for your thoughts. We were able resolve the issue by add a few lines of code at the end of Scott Pratt's "mfunc6JogToToolTouchOff-tt1.mac." Now, after qualifying all the tools offsets and after qualifying the surface with this macro, all tools in ...
