Re: Acorn Lathe Intercon help needed

When I tried using the post position it moved in X to X0, which can easily crash. Need to only move in Z. Is there a way to have it only move Z?

I have a small fortune in mid range probes.. two Hallmark ITTP (one with wireless conversion), and a Centroid TT4 on the lathe. I wouldn't be without probing!

Re: Strange Windows error message

I'm not being spicy on this. I'm simply stating I too have seen this error message pop up. I'm using the same intel NUC sold on your web page. It's a fresh install. I'm not even bothered by this error. Just letting the OP know it pops up on my lathe like he is seeing.

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. Then I walk to the machine and it’s there, local and ready to run.
