This is amazing, Would be even better if centroid makes a deal with you to include this into the various software tier packages. Why in the world would you think Centroid would want to include this in their offerings? It would mean a price increase for those that don't want or need the CHIPs softwa...

For those familiar with the ProbeApp, CHIPS is the ProbeApp on Steroids. Unlike the ProbeApp, CHIPS is using the Centroid API to directly exchange data with CNC12. A great "Thank You" goes to Keith and his great team at Centroid who was actively working with me to add functionality to the ...

It is the table. That is your problem as this is wrong. When you look at the "Right Hand Rule" picture above, in order for the tool to move to the right in relation to the machine table/work piece (+ direction), the machine table has to move to the left. You need to fix this otherwise you...

My direction of travel is correct. X+ to the rigjht and y+ away from me as indicated by the illistration above. So when you travel in the X+ direction, does the tool/spindle travel in that direction or the table? I bet in your case it's the table and not the tool, otherwise you would not have the i...

When I use Probe App the direction of travel seems to be reversed. As an example when using single axis I have to select the oppiste side to get it to work. If I select the side next to the probe it will move away from the part until it eventually issues an error. I guarantee you that you have your...

Is it possible to set CSR automatically with the Probe App and a Pro License? In the SW matrix it says it can be done in CNC12 Pro, but in the forum I found posts saying it needs Ultimate? If so, what option do I use? The CNC12 Pro License does let you probe the angle but you have to apply the CSR ...

Quick Probe App Question. I have been using this app for a few months now and love it! I keep finding new way to use it. When setting up, you can use Z home or a master tool as a reference. I can't remember why, but for some reason I could not get the Z-home approach to work (probably user error). ...

Thank you, Swissi. I'll be able to check this out once the WMPG arrives. The jog buttos that I was referring to are on the WMPG, but I assume the same applies to those on the VCP. Since my last post, I added a jumper to the 3D touch probe connector so that when it's plugged in, it grounds ProbeDete...

Domenic Pascucci. He was very helpful and took time to work with me to resolve the issue - which appeared to be that wheel pulses weren't getting through, but the jog buttons worked fine. Does the probe-protect feature affect one or both of these functions? Your problem is a probe configuration pro...

I’m either going to have to change my wiring or fake the system by measuring an unused tool and put that value into the height offset for the TP. Bottom line is that currently I cannot use the TT and TP at the same time. You can check which of the probes (TT or TP) has the weaker spring load by pla...
