Acorn ATC input#32 problem <filename typo, resolved.>

Post by alexgr8 »

Hi, just got my acorn up and running on a Multicam 5x10 router table with leadshine hybrid steppers. X, Y , and Z axis are setup configured and running. Vfd using the analog 0-10v for rpm is running.

Very smooth transition so far. Truly seems like a rock sold and stable setup.

I am at the point of setting up my rack/ finger style ATC. I made a few small mods to the macro floating around and followed the directions.

When requesting a tool change I get a waiting for input #32 (m6).

Hi Alexgr8,

Looking at your report, your m6 macro seems to be named "mfunc6.mac.mac".

Rename your m6 macro file to "mfunc6" without the .mac in the name.

You can tell Windows to always show you the whole filename. Doing so will save a lot of headaches.

See viewtopic.php?f=64&t=4196&p=33895 and scroll down a page or two for instructions.
