Brand new Oak setup, couldn't complete spindlebenchtest.cnc
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2022 3:47 am
Hey, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but the e-mail we received from sales directs us here for troubleshooting.
We just got started on an Oak we received recently, and we've ran into a couple hiccups. Probably nothing major, but being complete newbies to Centroid, it was enough to stop us in our tracks. The situation is as follows:
1. We made it all the way to step 4.2 on the install manual (https://www.centroidcnc.com/downloads/c ... manual.pdf), at which point we locate the spindlebenchtest.cnc file (it was already in the default folder), but when we hit alt+s we do not get the text indicated in part 4.2.2.4 (unlabeled, but it's the first picture on page 29 of the pdf listed)
2. Instead, we receive a message of "UNDEFINED PLC MESSAGE (4)" in the log on the top-right. Did some digging, perhaps after the install we do not have the correct plcmsg.txt file, but after some searching, we can't locate a copy of it. The hint that put us on this track was posted here: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic. ... 270#p42270
3. No idea if any of this is related, but we cannot get the virtual jogboard to appear, even after replicating the setup instructions in the manual, and the YouTube video linked on the Oak page. We tried changing the 0 to a 1 in param 219, then restarting, but that didn't help either.
4. Outside of that, the install was going smooth as silk, and we replicated all steps along the way without fault. LEDs on the board are showing what they should be. Restarting works well, and quickly. We just sort of ran out of ideas trying to figure out what "UNDEFINED PLC MESSAGE (4)" is trying to tell us.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!
