SFM & Chipload displayed on VCP

Post by maxmeaker »

I'm curious if it's possible to display Surface Speed (SFM) and Chip Load (IPT) dynamically in the Virtual Control Panel (VCP) similar to a Haas control as shown in this video. As you change your feed rate override and spindle override, these displayed values would update accordingly.



I didn't see anything on this when searching the forum, but it seems like something that could be added by customizing the VCP as described in the Centroid VCP 2.0 Users manual.

Has anyone tried this before? Or have thoughts on if it can be done?
