Just a report to say that recognition and setup worked perfectly for the original OPCON panel. All knobs and button assignments worked.

After reading through the Wizard page, I was kind of expecting a message upon first boot after enabling it, saying to go back to the wizard to finish setting it up, but didn't. Just happened to think of it later on and started the Wizard to see that all the options were now available.

Never the less, it all worked well!

Its a .xml similar to the drive xml's.

Can find them under resources\wizard\saved\plcPresets or the resources\wizard\default\plcPresets. drives are found under the drive folder in the saved or default directory as well.

Great, thank you Chris.

August 14th Update - CNC12 v5.19 Beta rev4 is here!

Rev4 Additions and changes include:

1.) Added PC Tuner to the installer as an optional install

2.) Reinstated IO presets menu for Acorn/AcornSix

3.) Added Router manual to the Router install

4.) Resolved a bug where a missing definition in the AcornSix PLC template was causing PLC compilation errors

Download rev4 of the beta here: https://centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/do ... 4_BETA.zip

As with all CNC12 updates do not use "restore report" from a previous version of CNC12. Please follow the CNC12 installation instructions here.

The IO presets page in V5.19r4b seems to be reverting to "Bench Test" each time the wizard is opened, even though a custom one is loaded and the inputs/outputs pages reflect that it is loaded.

Also, the new "user_language.msg feature doesn't work in rev4.

Report from one machine, will try on another later.

Can you post your user_language.msg file? The report doesn't pick it up just yet

My bad on the user_language.msg file. I was trying it on a different machine than I did earlier, and didn't have access to that machine/file for comparison. I used "replace:" instead of "replacement:".

Here are a few thing with 5.19r4...

Set part zeros - laser - laser on F7 will turn the laser on, but does not turn it off. After a few pokes, it does nothing at all until you hit escape and come back.

With the addition of the USB-BOB to the diagnostics screen, there's a very noticeable delay in the LED state change. This could be misleading to anyone checking their I/O, as it's close to a 2 second delay (on mine at least). There's a bit of delay normally, but once the USB-BOB is enabled, it's twice as long of a delay and misleading when checking I/O.

Up-voting for this again ... viewtopic.php?p=90543#p90543
Sort of related, the new default macro for the GOTO WCS XY0 button (goto_part_xy_zero.cnc) doesn't use the M25 (or G53 Z0 ) as it did previously using mfunc56.mac. This could be an issue for anyone that was used to the old way and hit that button expecting the previous normal motion, and instead gets.....rapid XY, crash, and break tool on material, jig, or clamp!

Rev4 Additions and changes include:

4.) Fixed PLC Bug with Lathe Software

Could you specify what the bug was exactly?

As this is the beta version of the 4th revision of the 19th branch of version 5, I'd rather not have to go through the update process if not critical. I appreciate that my current beta will expire soon but I'm getting very little workshop time at the moment due to work commitments and family issues, yet I'm hoping to try out the lathe tool probing functions before it does.

The feedback so far sounds encouraging. Hopefully I can confirm this myself shortly!

This was a minor error in the AcornSix PLC template that would cause PLC compilation errors in the Wizard.


While the issue was initially encountered on a lathe installation, the PLC source files for mill, router, and plasma have been corrected as well. I'll update the patch notes to make this more clear. Thank you
