Release notes for Rev12
Acorn CNC12 v4.59 rev12
Improvements
- Added clean filter message but now allow users to set the frequency date that it appears in the Wizard can be disabled by entering 0 value. (sets parameter 421) Under CNC Control Preferences in Wizard.
- Added RPM_Sensor Input for one pulse per revolution Spindle Speed indicator that uses an Input, typical use with Hall Effect sensors. (note: can not be used for threading, threading requires a spindle encoder, spindle encoder and RPM_Sensor can not be used at the same time. If you have an encoder installed CNC12 reads the spindle speed from the encoder and the RPM_Sensor is not necessary. RPM_Sensor is for machines without a spindle encoder but the user wishes to have a true spindle RPM readout within CNC12 and displayed on the main screen. In the Wizard input definitions menu.
- Added the ability for users to set charge pump divider Value in the Wizard. Default value is 96 which is compatible with G540 and is automatically set when G540 is selected. A 0 value disables the Charge Pump. Note: Charge Pump output works only on Output 3 of the DB25 connector and can only be assigned to Output 3 in the Wizard output menu. Under Advanced menu in Wizard.
- Disabled keyboard jogging while in the F3 CNC12 configuration menu to eliminate keystroke conflicts.
- Added sample laser gcode files to ncfiles\laser along with Laser alignment test files.
- Lathe: Added ability for users to choose the Default Lathe operating mode. Feed per minute (G98) or Feed per Revolution (G99) G99 requires a spindle encoder while G98 does not. Lathe Wizard Spindle setup menu.
- Increased beta count down timer message to start at 45 days
- Improved M44, “Auto Z to Plate” VCP button to read probing values set be the Wizard to reduce user initial setup steps.
Fixes
- Fixed typo in the backing up of the cnct folder during install
- Fixed CNC12 not reflecting edited g-code until after restarting CNC12 or reloading the program
