Centroid CNC12 v5.07 rev8 BETA is now available.

Acorn Mill 5.07 R6 done, nothing to complain about so far.

I am really happy with the new Rapid Override

Uwe

right on, thanks for the feedback.

we figured out why you had to modify the feedrate_override.svg to solve an overlap issue.
looks like you used the old feedrate_override.svg with the new VCP?

The new v5.07 feedrate_override.svg included with the installer has a 'invisible area' in it that has the effect of adding a buffer/padding to the image which makes it easier to read and prevents overlap.

[suntravel]

No, I have had the overlap on both right after installing with no modification, so I changed the feedrate_override.svg in the image folder.

Rapid Over button is now kind of obsolete with the new rapid skin....

Would be cool if the VCP changes to Rapid if =0 with Feed selected on the WMPG and back to Feed if released

what res are you running at? report shows 1920x1080 is that true?> [/color]

Rapid Over button is now kind of obsolete with the new rapid skin....< yep inadvertently left there, rapid over button should not be on the default 'rapid' skin. and for anyone reading that button will still work so functionality is still there etc if you want the VCP to be like the old way of doing things. so to be clear we are not eliminating any existing functionality >

Would be cool if the VCP changes to Rapid if =0 with Feed selected on the WMPG and back to Feed if released < yeah we can do that>

Jep 1920x1080

I defined a new output in the PLC, it is working ( I can see it in the PLC detective ), I can also switch an image in the VCP with it, but making the button Rapid-Feed work like pressed on the VCP fail

Code: Select all

<vcp_button>
<plc_output>
		<number>1146</number>
		
    <switch>
        <switch_on>
            <remove>feed_group</remove>
            <remove>feed_button_group</remove>
            <add>rapid_group</add>
            <image_on>rapid_feed_lit.svg</image_on>
        </switch_on>
        <switch_off>
            <remove>rapid_group</remove>
            <add>feed_group</add>
            <add>feed_button_group</add>
            <image_off>rapid_feed.svg</image_off>
        </switch_off>
        <remove>linked_group</remove>
        <add>unlinked_group</add>
    </switch>
        
</plc_output>

New issue:

I have only Probe Detect and Probe Tripped as inputs, using them for Tool Touch Off too.

With 5.07 on Acorn Mill this will not work, stops with message TT0 Input not set in PLC.

I have had to set the Input to ToolTouchOffTriggered.....

The Probe will work this way, pls. change this back so TTO and Probe could use the same input.

small issues or not, no problem to produce parts with 5.07, as usual for Centroids beta versions, I am sure I have made more parts with beta versions than with regular ones

right on! nice knife! the wood looks a lot like the Juniper growing in my back yard.
great video, thanks for posting the video and your efforts on testing beta software.

[cnckeith]

fyi... the CNC12 installation instructions have been updated to include all Centroid Hardware that is capable of running CNC12 and a introduction/discussion section has been added as well.
(Acorn users will be glad to have the Wizard if they read the Oak/Allin1DC/MPU11 sections)

Same on the lathe, I you use Probe as inputs, the input is also set for TTO in the wizard, with TTO only for the TTO.

But setting up tools with Probe input is not possible.

Not an issue on my lathe, since I have only TTO an free inputs, but on my mill no free inputs and sharing Probe with TTO worked perfectly up to 5.04

Why was this changed, and could we go back pls ?

Schematic S15122 shows also it should be possible to share Probe input with TTO.
