Peter --

I've used Logitech wireless keyboards and mice with PathPilot v2 for a long time. I recall fussing around a bit to get both the keyboard and mouse to use a single Logitech USB wireless...

Bob --

If by MiniArc you mean the Tormach microARC 4" 4th axis, the website shows it as in stock. I have no first hand experience with it but from what I've read it has close to zero backlash due...

To come out of reset PathPilot needs to see the machine powered up and connected with no limit switches not tripped.

For PathPilot to come out of reset with no actual machine attached to the 7i92,...

That version of PathPilot is over 2 years old as well as the very first release of v2. I think you'll be happier with something more recent that has bugs fixed and new features. A PathPilot update...

I see now there is a separate thread for the G01 issue. I'll post there.

I see G37 info in the 770M Operator's Manual. Section 10.2.11

#5220 still holds the current WCS number, 1-499. The first 9 WCS still function like they always have and live in #5221-#5390. To get the offsets for a WCS > 9 switch to that WCS with G54.1 Pxxx and...

For a part counter have you considered using a global named parameter? It's not as nice as a dedicated DRO but better than nothing. The example below prints to the Status tab but doesn't yank the...

I noticed that and reported the change in behavior to Tormach. I expect it will be fixed in the next release.
An option might be to roll back to a previous version or two where it will let you...

Great deal! The VFD spindle drive upgrade is a must do. You will have no regrets on the 3 phase stepper motors and drives upgrade. Call Tormach tech support. Let them know you're the new owner of...

PathPilot v2.0.0 is over a year old. Grab the latest release v2.1.6 from the Tormach website.

I tried the factory restore option a few weeks ago and it worked.

If you dig around in PathPilot v2 GrUB you'll find some interesting wrappers around Clonezilla. One does a "factory restore" and another pair does a back/restore of whatever you have in the root disk...

Just in case this is the issue -- are you pressing the Enter key after entering the description? If you click away from the edit field it clears whatever you had just typed in. I find this behavior...

Rebooting after the v1.9.4 update got my controller stuck like popspipes' did with no graphics and it asking for a login and password.
I figured out a fix that doesn't require reinstalling from the...

It's beautiful, gd. I really like how your motor and ballscrew mounts turned out.

Since you're raising the mill off the stand anyway, how about mounting the Y servo motor under the mill base...

I'm in south central Wisconsin (Madison, actually). It gets plenty cold here in Winter. My shop is a well insulated 2-car garage I built about 6 years ago. It's 20 feet wide by 24 deep with a 9 foot...

I bought a new Enco flavor RF45 clone with a single-phase 1HP motor a little over a year ago. I want to replace the motor with a 3-phase motor and a VFD. Why? Mostly because a nice VFD happened to...

Ray -

Outstanding workmanship!

I'm in Madison, WI.

I'm new to milling and CNC but not to electronics or control software.
I just picked up a Grizzly X2 mini mill and added a DRO-350 to it. I'm currently working on adding...
