Re: Homing 4th Axis
If you followed Keith's instructions, the homing routine (cncm.hom) will have been created, and the homing command for the 4th axis will be in it. Then upon power up, when instructed to home the machine, it will automatically do it (if you have it set up correctly).

Re: Slow returning beginning of a cut
Reason, because the job file tells it to feed at 5ipm.
Solution, edit the file to use a higher feed rate.

Re: Aspire post processor and centroid question
What's not working about it? What does it do or not do?

Re: 24v input issue
Looks like the green LED on the power supply goes off too. Short to ground somewhere. Does it do the same when connecting to the other 24v in? What is on the other side where you have the mounting screws going through? A stand off body or a washer that is shorting something to ground on the back side?

Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
With the possibility of using this in the form of a pendant and perhaps taking it to another machine from time to time, is there possibly a way to "Refresh" or "Disconnect/Reconnect" it to CNC12? Currently, you need to restart CNC12. Just a thought, since I've started CNC12 a few...

Re: OPCON and USB-BOB
A list of possible macros that could be assigned to switch inputs, much like the lists in the Wizard for VCP AUX Keys. That list could contain the available AUX Keys and mfunc's, so that you're not limited to just AUX Keys 1-16.

Re: Adding functionality to VCP
Very possible, and only as complicated as you want to make it. ;) You could have one button for each zone, or one button that asks which zone or zones you want enabled. Graphics could be a representation of the table with the zone colored and even a two state on/off kind of button, etc. Recommended ...

Re: Parameter 131 option
Keith, are you talking toggling the enabling of the 3/4 axis button that parameter 131 does, or toggling the 4th axis DRO display like the 3/4 axis button itself does? I'm looking at the later. Thanks.
