Re: CHIPS (CNC12 Highly Intuitive Probing System). The must have Add-On for CNC12

Could we add a filter for all tools that are not empty? I would like to start numbering my twist drills at 100,101, 102..., Bull nose at 50, 51, ... Flat endmill at 10,11,.... but if I do this, I can't see them in CHIPS because they are too far down.

Is this a good place to put in feature requests ...

WMPG-6 Feed knob selector to also control Rapid

Hello,
Is there anyway to control both the feed rate and the rapid rate from the WMPG-6 knob selector? The first rapid moves are often just as scary with new setups. I'd like to have the feed and rapid % be equal so I can ease into position the first time I run a part, from the comfort of my own ...

MPG Macro to set axis = 1/2 current position

Hello,
I am trying to set the axis to half the current position from the WMPG6 to find center with an (non-connected) indicator: jog to the left of the part, press "=0" on the mpg, then probe to the right and press "Macro1".
The "set axis=0" button on the default skin and associated macro ("C:\cncm ...

Re: Machine Position Correction Planar Compensation available to try out.

Due to the warp in my table, I really could use bi-directional compensation rather than a simple sum of the offset taken at a single value.
I dial in z when crossing the table at, say, the midpoint of the table and it works great, but then I need a whole other set of compensation values at different ...

Re: Park and Home from any screen

Say I want to change something in the wizard. I go to utility menu, maybe create a report, then remember I should park before turning off the machine, and press escape and go back. But usually after pressing park, then remembering to escape and the park.

Or: when setting up scales, you have to ...

Park and Home from any screen

Anytime I want to Park and Home, I forget to press escape a bunch of times to get back to the main screen. Is there anyway we can allow park and home from any screen?

Re: Machine Position Correction Planar Compensation available to try out.

After doing some surgery on my CNC and upgrading the motors to clearpath (finally), I am back to the point of setting up Vol. comp.
Something seems off to me. Say all my tables are empty except for 4 th column of cnc-y.tab ( X compensation). I am compensating the X axis when jogging in the y ...

Directly change XYZ coordinates from main screen

Hello,
I'd like to be able to double click a DRO field on the main screen and type in what it should be. This would be an ideal workflow to, say, jog the z until a dowel pin can fit between the workpiece and the tool, and simply type in the dowel diameter into z.

If the DRO field is strictly read ...

CNC12 Emulator

Hello,
I would like to develop some CNC12 macros and skins away from home. It seems some posts allude to being able to use a CNC12 emulator, but I have not been able to recreate this. I think they are implying it is for "intercon" only.
