I’ll defer to Keith to confirm but I don’t believe it’s recommended to use ether 1616 for prox switches. There is quite a bit more latency on those inputs when compared to the ones on the main board. I use all of my ether 1616 inputs for things like air pressure, draw bar, air blast etc. all of my p...

Y'all beat me to it! Keith quoted exactly what I would have said... To give you a little more context I wrote that macro when the Centroid Autosquare stuff was just coming out. It wasn't fully sorted yet so I just went ahead and did my own thing. It's been working fine ever since. The thing that I r...

The stock Centroid post that ships with VCarve/Aspire works. Make 100% sure that's the one you're using and you should be fine.

I had a feeling that might be the case. Thanks!

Hey everyone, here's something I'm working through... For context I have a 4x8 router table. My table is two layers: A base layer with a plenum, and a spoilboard on top. The spoilboard gets beat up and gets smoothed off with a big surfacing bit. The spoilboard has been glued down to the base. I have...

Hi all, I was curious if I can change smoothing modes with a command in a G Code file. I took a look at the docs and I didn't see anything in there about it...

Is this possible? Has anyone ever done it? If so I'd be interested in knowing how...

What's that gearbox that actually unscrews the collet nut? And do you have some kind of detection to know how tight/loose it is?

A little update... I had some free time today and I finally finished my air blast to make sure the tool I'm picking up is clean. It works like this https://photos.app.goo.gl/zh5HEboCNbY6P74A9

Ok, I set my CycleStart2 switch to NC and things are working now...

It's weird because my Cycle Start is actually NO, and my tool check and stop are NC, but I have to have the exact opposite settings in the Acorn Wizard for things to work right. So I guess I found a workaround, but it's confusing.
