Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

hi guys ok read all the stuff that says please make an effort I've made an effort i searched here and a little google I expect this will be an easy fix for someone a little more PC savvy then me .. So i went down the road of installing software before plugging it then as you would expect had issue will IP address of the LAN port i tried to put it in still no comms .So I then chose to uninstall and go for fresh install while plugged in.
so during the install I get

" we noticed an existing installation of CNC12, please rename the existing cncm directory and run the installer again "


then when i try do the command line rmdir cncm rmdir cnct

i get " the system cannot find the file specified " and same issue again trying to install .i will post some screen pics from my phone in a moment

So after trying an OI bot uninstaller and failing i did a windows reset .. took all afternoon but got the result i see my acorns serial number so figure I'm in good shape ...ok next challenge where do i find this wizard ?

Thanks Shawn I'm hoping to have a big day tomorrow get it running again.

hi, follow the step by step instructions on this page.

Ok me the wizard have already had a disagreement while running the spindle voltage out put bench test my first voltage was low like.25 volt and it said "voltage low make sure max spindle is set to 3000 and start again" but my max spindle speed is like 20 000 so do i need to just set it to 3000 to just configure the output and so it knows 1.6 volt out is actually 1.6 volt out then later i can match volts with actual spindle RPMs

ok on the second try i set to 3000 then re run spindle bench test reported the voltage back as prompted but we got only 3 out of 4 the 4th voltage read 6.8 V witch as it says is not within 10% of 10V

ok rooki error i was plugged into to to the unpowered VSD as its easier to get onto the screw heads with the meter

Please, follow the instructions as written or explained in any of the current videos and everything will work for you. Don’t take shortcuts or think skipping steps will yield the same results.
