Thank you, Scott. I now understand what happened, and how to fix it. I suspect that most anyone wanting to use a custom cncm.hom file would run into the same issue.

Keith, read Scott's post, he explains it well. A user wanting to use a custom cncm.hom file, as of now, needs to: 1. Select "Wizard to generate automatic home program" so that the M91/M92 selection boxes are not greyed out 2. Set the M91/M92 boxes per axis so each axis looks for a homing s...

Thanks to your help, it's fixed. Scott was spot on. I had to make CNC12 create its own homing file so that I could set the M91 / M92 values correctly for axis 1, 2, and 3. Then I restarted the software and told it I had my own homing file. Finally, I copied my homing file back into the cncm director...

Thanks all, and sorry for the delay here. Eric: Regarding the X axis homing lines that are commented out: For some reason I put those lines in the M24 macro. So I was getting the x axis homed. I can't remember why I did that though. I will attach a screenshot showing my input settings. Screenshot (1...

To clarify, the first report above is before the software upgrade. The second is after, with the current issue. Also, I have not been able to complete the homing sequence yet - it's Z-Y-X. Z homes OK, but Y crashes against the hard stop.

I did a clean install of the new Router software. I am using a custom home / auto square routine originally written by Eric Schimelpfenig here, with minor mods for my machine. Since the software upgrade, CNC12 does not seem to recognize the Y axis homing sensor (Input 3). Using Alt+I shows the switc...

The Centroid team has made amazing progress in the 1.5 years or so that I have been using CNC12. I have no doubt at all that they will do it.

Gary used a single IPC-5 on my build with the 3411 servos and it has had zero issues

Sounds like you will have a great machine! It will be similar to the 60x96 that Gary retrofitted for me: https://www.centroidcnc.com/shopbot_gcnc.html One consideration on your motors - you might be as well served with the 3411 servos like Gary installed on mine. When we compared the speed and torqu...

Wouldn't it be great if CNC12 could run without being attached to hardware? There are times I wish to test macros, etc, and the machine is in use. Also, with the new user customizable VCP, it would be great if I could work on CNC12 at my design workstation not just at the machine control. Centroid C...
