Centroid offers a few standard hard drive options for $425

V2.36 on a compact flash/IDE reader This is for older systems with less ram.
V2.72 compact flash IDE reader, for later systems with 1gb of ram.

V2.73R80 on full version Open Suse 11.2 on SATA SSD. This works with newer motherboards. (not modern motherboards but some ~10 year old models)

Dos Versions 7.17 and 8.23 on Compact flash/IDE reader are available for older systems all well.


You can try installing older versions on SATA drives. I doubt it will work but its worth a try.

The latest released CENTROID CNC10 Software Version is: CNC10 v2.70

Important: Please read the following before proceeding with any software updates:
There is no direct upgrade path from v2.38 and earlier software versions. It is still a simple matter to install 2.70 on a control, however a new flash card will be required. This process is explained in full detail in TB213 which you should read before upgrading from v2.38 and earlier software to 2.6x+ versions.

To facilitate upgrading to 2.6x+ software, helper scripts have been written which automatically back up and restore the system files, G code and intercon using a USB thumb drive. These helper scripts are referenced and explained in greater detail in TB213. Download them here.

In order to use the 2.70 USB all-in-one update file below to update a control, the control MUST have the CNC Linux 2.61 or newer version operating system installed. If not, you will need to use the ISO image below to create a new flash card first. To verify that you have the CNC Linux 2.61 or newer operating system press ALT-F6 on the control. A Linux prompt window will pop up which will have your operating system version at the top. If the control does not have 2.61 or newer CNC Linux, you will need to do a report file and build a new flash card using the ISO Image below.

CNC10 CNC Software Update: Use with USB drive.

MILL AND LATHE:
Download the: CNC10 "all in one" USB update below to your desktop then upzip the file to a USB drive. (Note: When you unzip this file to the USB drive, the drive will contain .ZIP files. Do not unzip these files. Note also that the path/folder on your USB drive that you unzip to must not contain spaces.) Now you are ready to update the CNC10 software with the USB drive.

Build a new CENTROID CNC Flash Card Hard Drive with your Desktop or Laptop PC with this ISO image..
CNC10 v2.70 ISO image
Use this ISO image to create a new CENTROID harddrive/flash card using your desktop or laptop PC: Download the ISO file and burn to CD, with a new Flash card installed in your PC's reader, Boot from CD and Follow the instructions to create new Flash Card HD for the control. Note:DO NOT use on an existing system. Note: If you are installing Windows CNC10 software (only Windows XP is supported at this time), you must make a backup of your configuration.

CENTROID CNC Linux Software Archive

IMPORTANT: Whenever possible, CENTROID strongly recommends running the latest software versions. Before attempting to update control software, you should read and understand the information presented in Tech Bulletin #217 - CNC10 software upgrade pathways, and if applicable Tech Bulletin #213 - Upgrading to v2.6x.

In brief:
Throughout this page the term CNC Linux refers to the control operating system. CNC10 refers to the Control Software. CNC Linux (the operating system), must be updated incrementally. CNC10 (the control software), does not need to be updated incrementally.

For example:
If your control is currently running CNC10 1.11 and CNC Linux 1.11, to update to version 1.20, you must update the CNC Linux to 1.15 and then to 1.20. Now you may update the CNC 10 software, which can jump directly to the desired version.
