yes, any plans for linear encoders. i see that a few of the competitors products have this. for example Centroid CNC.

Any plans for a new controller with true closed loop operation or position and velocity control instead of step and direction?

PlanetCNC, have you ever thought about adding the ability to add the ability to fully customize panels or panes on the UI? for example, making any panel, pane, or window with the ability to pin to...

Hi PlanetCNC. I've had a chance to play around with the new software and I ran into a new problem related to the Machine.Start command. It appears that the button I made no longer works. I see that...

This is great news. In the mean time would you be able to help me with a custom script based on my previous posts?

Im not a programming expert so i do need some guidance.

I just sent my files to the support email. Please understand that i was experimenting with a file that i previously used in the original TNG and it worked.

I've been on vacation so im back now and ive had a chance to go back and experiment with the start from "selected line" command again. Ive downloaded and installed the 11-29 version and retested the...

I did not forget. I will try a new blank script. The current script, which you wrote will store the current position when i use start from selected line. So if i move the machine to change a tool it...

I think youve misunderstood what i was explaining to you. I know where the menus are and i understand how they work. Currently the scripts that exist will work if i stop the machine and use the...

That's sounds like what I need, unfortunately, I do not know how to write the script to do this. Is it possible to help me with an example? How do I store and then call back position state?

So ive had a chance to install the new update and test the "onstart" script. I'm wondering if its possible to store the program position when stopping in the middle of the program?
If a tool breaks...

This is great news! Im very happy that you can react so quickly. Are you thinking you will add separate scripts for this? Would you be able to explain a little more?

It seems to be ignoring the "OnStart" script. The only time I can get the script to run is running from the first line. I've sent all my files to the PlanetCNC support email. this is probably the...

A novice mistake. I got it figured out. Thank you.

Possible bug...keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease the feed does not appear to accept these assigned keys. Worked flawlessly in TNG V1.

I'm still working on my manual tool change script. It appears that the image is not loaded when called from inside a gcode program but when I enter M6 into the MDI it appears.
This is my script:

Is there anyway to edit the start from selected line script? I just had to stop my program and then restarted. The machine plunged down into my part and broke my tool. This behavior is different then...

Im want to be able to have a dialog when a M6 is called that gives the user an option to continue and move to the manual tool change position in my case it is x7 y-18. Or be able to skip the tool...

This is the image I was trying to attach to a dialog for manual tool changing. I took the default .svg tool image and imported it into inkscape, saved as .png with a transparent background. Is there...

Is this available now? Or do i have to wait for the next update?

Thank you for doing this, much appreciated.

Ok great. That makes perfect sense now that you explained it that way. I'll give it a try.

This might be better under the TNG2 button thread. I am trying to assign a MCode to an output. For example if I want to use MDI to turn on an output which is really quick and easy. I've tried this...

Thank you. This will help a lot. Do you have an answer for the e-stop question?

Ok, I'll give it a try. I carried over the stat tabs from TNG1 but the syntax appears to be different. Or maybe some of the old parameters do not exist anymore. Would you you be able to send me an...

Ive installed the new TNG2. I am very happy with everything so far although I do need some help with the scripts. Things have changed and I had to basically rewrite all the scripts I had for the...

1. My main bug is something that was supposedly fixed a few versions ago. I have a custom button created for a park position routine. This is the User define script below. I would like to...

Thank you. I will respond with my issues and bug once I get a chance to get back at my machine. Do you want me to use this forum for my issues or should i submit them to support?

Planet CNC, when will the new version of TNG be released? I read a thread a few months ago and you said you were working on it an it was coming out by the end of that week. I've been using the...

PlanetCNC, I've downloaded the latest software release. 9-17. It doesn't appear that the change log was updated. Would you tell me what the latest fixes and enhancements are for this latest release?...

Have you tried emailing support? I've found more success with the support group rather than relying on a response from this forum.I believe the support email is on the planet CNC website.
