Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.1 RC3 installer, Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma, Acorn, AcornSix, Hickory, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11

Thanks Keith and Joey! That build seems to make the CWP4 MPG motion smoother. Did that build also have the probe protection fix in it (it doesn't have RC4 in the filename)? Never-the-less, with the probe and TT settings back to where this saga started, things appear to be working right and good. The...

Well, that's fine Howdy Doody! Fix one problem,... https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=85937#p85937 ...create another. :cry: I removed both inputs and files run as normal. Replacing just ToolTouchOffTriggered is fine, but with ProbeTripped and probe protection enabled, the issue returns. I'...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.1 RC3 installer, Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma, Acorn, AcornSix, Hickory, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11

try and comment out line 35 "G64 ON ......" and then force smoothing ON in the CNC12 smoothing menu then run the job again. That's what I did off to the side in the second half of that video. I commented it out and then chose "Precision Router" before I started it agian. ;)

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.1 RC3 installer, Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma, Acorn, AcornSix, Hickory, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11

Since these file were the only ones I've tried on 5.10RC3, I thought I better try some others that have many short segments, and I see that it affects many others as well. I have this file (starts at the 1 minute mark) https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=20948#p20948 that has a lot of spira...

Here's a video comparison. It's prevalent from start to end. I also tried all other smoothing parameters, and the result were similar for each.

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.1 RC3 installer, Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma, Acorn, AcornSix, Hickory, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11

Here are two files, and a screenshot of the layout to show the datum point. Size is 15" x 6". You should notice it right away at the beginning of either file. v5.10RC3 will barely get up to 35ipm while jerking along, where v5.08 will get close to the commanded feedrate on the low to no det...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.1 RC3 installer, Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma, Acorn, AcornSix, Hickory, Oak, Allin1DC, MPU11

There seem to be something broken with smoothing in RC3. I have a special set of smoothing parameters for 3D relief and V-Carving, and with RC3, it's almost like it's stuck in exact stop mode. Motion is very jerky with a simple 45º ramp up, shallow dish, and 45º ramp down. V-Carving is not fluid in ...

Re: Recommendations for PC to run p.m. 940 conversion

Hey David,

I much prefer the K400r keyboard if you can get them. They have larger directional arrow keys. Keyboard jogging active with Alt-j, and hold the FN key while using the pg up/pg dn arrow keys should make them work.

Re: Wiring multiple closed loop steppers

Those drives should have a LED that will flash with fault code, so that would give you a visual of which one is faulting.
