Re: CNC12 Router Restructure Beta Software thread.

Looking great, Keith!

Do you have a CNC12 version that can be installed on a design computer for preview of the gcode yet? or does it still require CNC hardware connected to preview?

Re: Thank you Gary Campbell

Yep, same here. Gary calls a spade a spade. Every once in a while, someone gets a little bit miffed by that. he's a gift to this community, all the same. Thanks Gary!

Re: 2006 ShopBot PRT Alpha controller upgrade...

@geneb whatever Gary tells you is the straight dope...he won't lead you wrong...the machine pictured at the link above is the one he retrofitted for me. Transformed is not too strong. Rezzurected might be more like it. :D

Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!

Until they fix it. v4.99 (will be released as v5.0) vcp is fully editedable with all space available on the VCP for any function and button.

Re: Poor mans DNC without network

I have a G_Code folder for each of my CNC machines in Dropbox. When I post the code on the CAM computer the posts are setup to save to that folder.

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!

A technical question about AcornSix - I hope this is the place to post it. I was studying the wiring schematics for Six and it appears that the recommendation for Clearpath motors is to use the 5V step/dir headers as opposed to the open collector headers? Could you verify this, and if that's right w...
