5.22 is running on my lathe now.

But I found another minor bug for a lathe with C-Axis (sorry for catching it not before)

Set All 0 will not work if the C-axis is off.

Any way I never used Set All 0 on a lathe, because in most cases it does not make sense.

My suggestion is to replace it with Set Z 0
One button press if a Tool and Offset is active, If not asking for the tool #

Thank you for implementing my updated color profile

Keith, On the inputs in the wizard where you can flip the polarity, it might help to have the text there explain what red and green mean. Even having the red and green buttons say NO or NC along with the color. Nothing wrong with it, but I noticed it didn't spell it out for new users.

Ken, it tells you this info at the bottom of the INPUT screen. It tells the user to click the input number circle to toggle the input from NC to NO.

Shawn, I know that but it doesn't spell out which is which. I'm fine with it either way, but from a new user perspective, it doesn't spell out green is nc and red is no. Sure you can find it in a manual somewhere, but who reads those?

Therein lies the problem. Those "new users" need to RTFM.

hello! ah yes the old NO NC nugget. trying to get away from that as it means different things to different people.
is a switch normal when some action is being made or when it is in its resting state? etc.

more important is... is the input closed or not?

i'm always up for any suggestions on how to make things easier. one idea would be to make an app that would hold your hand thru in input configuration, like a mix between the Wizard input page and the Alt i menu with it asking you to trigger the input and tell the app what that means etc.. but that is far down the priority list for now.

From the installation manual:

Inputs can also be toggled between NC (Normally Closed) which shows as Green
pic
or NO (Normally Open) which shows as Red
pic

That is stupid easy IMHO to understand.

One of the things deciding to go with Centroid for DIY CNC and starting with no clue of CNC control building was the easy to understand and follow documentation. But besides doing yourself, you also have to read yourself
