Is there anything I can do with V 5.02 to fix it? When will V 5.04 be released?

The Parameters for each aux key should only be shifted down by 1. So the Parameter for Aux 14 should change Aux 13, Aux 15 should change Aux 14, and etc.

Looking over your report and custom PLC, It looks like the Skin_Event is correct for your Aux13 key (Should be the blank blue button beside Mist).

Ensure you are on the Main Menu screen when pressing Aux 13 or any of the other aux keys, the macros will only run from the main screen.

I tried searching my .SRC file for SV_PLC_FUNCTION_24 and its only in there one place.
DoAux1Key_SV IS SV_PLC_FUNCTION_24.
I was looking for how each plc function works.

The definitions that relate to VCP keys are "SV_SKIN_EVENT_nn".

As in:

Code: Select all

SkinAux13_M                   IS SV_SKIN_EVENT_24

New Logo for my VCPs....

Shadows with blur in Inkscape will not work in the VCP, generate shadows without blur and a light grey tone.

thanks, not all SVG functions are supported but, as you point out there are ways around that to achieve same effect.

Hey Keith, blur or not in the VCP is a least concern problem, will not make a single part machined better :lol:

-independent second spindle Acorn6
-Y with G2/3 on the lathe
-G64 on the lathe
-3D RTG like graph

Would be more important for me ;)

But Acorn makes me more fun to work with than the Traub/Mitsubishi CNCs in my job, very good job what Centroid delivers :!:

Is there a way to set a "one shot" button in an AllinOneDC to run the threading cycle, (F5-Cam, F3-insert, F5-cycles, F8-thread) from the VCP?
