Now available for download CNC12 v5.0 rev0 Beta
This is the last build before a v5.0 Release Candidate, please download and test so we can flush out any remaining issues before turning this into an official release. thanks, in advance for your testing efforts! -Keith

Download
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... 0_BETA.zip

This is a Free Centroid CNC Software BETA for anyone using the Acorn, AcornSix, Oak, Allin1DC, and MPU11 CNC controller platforms.

- All existing License files work with v5.0

- All features from previous versions of CNC12 are included in v5.0

- Beta’s have count down timers and expire after 120 days. (to remind users to update to the release version when it is available)

changes since v4.99 rev8

- Added skinning calls CSR.DisableCSR and CSR.ReenableCSR
- Fixed Oak/Allin1DC innocuous "412 MPG_ encoder error" that occured with WMPG on power up.
- Fixed WMPG will now display correctly during runtime graphics
- CNC12 checks if an IP address and subnet mask are set to 10.168.41.1 255.255.255.0 before trying to communicate with the board.
- Added Sub Net check to the installer when ensuring that network adapter is already set
- Improved Autosquaring macros to support wider variances in user setup configurations

Full release notes of changes from v4.82 Acorn and v4.22 Oak/AllinDC
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... _notes.pdf


Acorn and AcornSix users follow the Acorn installation instructions.
https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... ctions.pdf

In general.
1.) Make screen shots of your current Wizard screens and create a fresh report.zip of the current running CNC12 software.
2.) Download ZIP file from the link above, extract zip file to desktop (don't run the installer from inside the zip file)
3.) Run the installer, use the Wizard to reconfigure the CNC controller for Acorn and AcornSix. For oak/allin1dc/mpu11/hickory configure using parameters menu.

Do not use the "restore report" feature.


Oak, Allin1DC,MPU11 users follow software installation instructions in the Oak or Allin1DC install manuals.

As always make sure the CNC PC meets the requirements to run this version of CNC12 software.
A CNCPC Windows requirement is to update Windows 10/11 to the latest .net framework (the new VCP requires this)

Advice.

- Do not install on a machine used for Production.
- Do not install on a customer of yours machine
- If you have a custom PLC program and are not familiar with PLC programming and compiling do not use this beta

That being said, have no fear! If desired, it is very easy to switch back to the previous version of CNC12 that you were running.
Before the beta install, make a copy of the c:\cncm or cnct directory, save it somewhere safe. After installing the beta if you want to switch back to the previous version of CNC12 that you were running. Simply rename the beta cncm/cnct directory and then copy back the previous cncm or cnct directory. Its that easy.

That’s just silly, you expect people to actually read the document they are directed to? :mrgreen:

V5 runs perfectly, like the versions before bugs are more a cosmetically issue, but it runs reliable in production.
