I recently added physical start, stop and tool check buttons to my machine: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5754&p=49456#p49456 I realized the other day that the cycle start button on my wireless pendant doesn't work along with the one in the virtual control panel. When I g...

Re: Wired MPG for Acorn?

Re: Probing Angle/Corner

Oh interesting.... I thought I had to do the angle probe first. So if I had a jig setup just like you see it in my picture in the original post, doing an outside corner will essentially draw a line through the four points that are probed (two on X and two on Y) and where the lines meet, that's the c...

Probing Angle/Corner

Probing question for you all (probably Swissi!) I have some jigs that I use on a regular basis, most of them have right angles on at least one side. I'm using these jigs on a 4x8 router table. My table doesn't have any vices or pins on it to locate the jigs as I often also do full sheets. So imagine...

The probe needs a cable connected to it to work properly, and I modified my M6 macro to protect me from accidentally changing the tool with the cable still attached, this is how it works: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LB6V635eLTsC1S646 Hopefully thi...

This is the probe I have: https://drewtronics.org/s5000led It's an NC mechanical probe. I setup the connector so that I have one input for the probe itself, and then ...
