CNC12 Router v5.20 is now available

[Boatwrights Workshop]

Will there be a revised manual for the new features, especially for the "Configuration Wizard? I would like to a brief explanation of how to configure these screenshots I have posted? I have tried the "Touch Plate" configuration but I get a notice saying it's not setup correctly even though my tool touch off is functionable in Input #7.

are you confusing a Tool Touch off (aka TT used for setting tool lengths) with a Surface plate typically used to set part zero?

I'm sure since I have a wireless Tool sensor on mines which serves as dual purpose. I was using it to set tool length and setting part zero. I wanted to know if it's possible to run two...Tool Touch Off and Surface Plate? I'm using a RapidChange ATC ( disabled at the moment during beta testing) which records tool length each time the tool picks up. I will submit a report this afternoon.

so by recording tool length each time tool picks up you mean it resets the tool lenght. i.e. no tool library information is retained.

so sure you can do this, where are you measuring the tools at in space? at a fixed location in Z or on top of the work piece?

In the attached photos I show the setup. So my Tool sensor ( correct my terminology if it's wrong?) is movable but I will use any tool to set Z work piece either off table bed (preferably) or stock material after it has recorded the tool height initially. However, I would like to keep this on in a fixed location and use another to set Z. Yes it will reset every tool touch off regardless if it's still the same tool but it does show in tool library. I have programmed information for the library such as bit diameter and name.

set that thing up as a fixed TT
and then use another "device" with another input as a surface or touch plate to set z part Zero
