Centroid CNC12 v5.04 has been released. UPDATE v5.06 has been released.

I have the same feeling; + the upgrade path s*ucks. You go through the software update and the machine doesn't workCNCMaryland wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 1:48 pm 1) No change in wiring was done at all.

Sorry dude - I can't really agree with you. In less than 1 hour I was able to do the a full install to upgrade to 5.0. I only have this 1 issue of trouble, and was able to figure it out in 10 minutes. You're making it sound worse than it is.lavrgs wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 2:14 pmI have the same feeling; the upgrade path s*ucks.

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.0 has been released. Click here to download.
Best advice I can give is to write down each "process" you have to do to setup the new software.
I have mine written down, and I just go down the list.
Many settings are not able to be adjusted in the Wizard, so you need to remember those, and make those changes manually.

'Legacy' = using the i/o on the G540
https://www.centroidcnc.com/dealersuppo ... 893.r5.pdf
"Drive only" = using the i/o on the Acorn
schematic # https://www.centroidcnc.com/dealersuppo ... 810.r9.pdf
'Drive only' means you are using the G540 as a stepper motor drive only not for i/o therefore all the i/o is on the Acorn. and therefore you use SpinFwd/Rev this is the recommended way.

I'm going to have to check tonight. Either way, point still unchanged. The settings that worked on 4.82 do not work on 5.00.cnckeith wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 2:59 pmwhich schematic # are you using? i think you have things mixed up..

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.0 has been released. Click here to download.
5.0 doesn't support mixing of "drive only" and "legacy drive" setups so maybe this was something that v4.82 overlooked and you got away with it.
