Are there any updates on uptake of newer Centroid CNC software versions? I understand Avid uptake is tied to ATC considerations. Particularly I am interested in the material size capabilities introduced in 5.40 ( https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/centroid_cnc12_download/cnc12_v5.40.0…

We’re going to release in a very short period of time 5.40 for our ATC system. It will initially be available to ATC users, and then roll-out to everyone else who wants it.

is this the update that will include some the additional functionality you’ve hinted at in other posts in regards to custom user functions?

[image] Centriod CNC Macros Macros are all plain text, and anyone can get at them and mod them. In this new update they are WAY more modular than they are now. Each “function” has it’s own macro, and then there are larger macros that orchestrate the smaller ones. This is from a conversation we…

That statement is still true. The subjective part is how easy they’ll be to edit… They’re all plain text and decently commented, however for ATC there are something like 60 macros :slight_smile:

I understand. I will still need to do my homework but I have been holding off digging around in CNC 12 in case the updated version came with what I wanted. My main issue has been the manual tool change script. I would like to create a work flow similar to what was available in Mach 4 that includes …

AWSOME! Good things come to those who wait. Between that and the fact that it take less then 30 seconds to swap an endmill I don’t know why i would ever need an ATC…except for the fact that they are really cool.

[image] rockstarsmurf: don’t know why i would ever need an ATC I see the value of ATC in a production environment, but what I can’t seem to grasp is what the complexity and cost of the sliding tool rack actually buys you. How many inches of previously machinable area do you gain/lose by using…

With the movable rack I don’t lose any of my work area for full sheets of plywood so if I’m only going to do smaller one offs it wouldn’t make any sense to have all that for me.. unless you got to have everything :rofl:

This is from a conversation we had in another thread on March 11 regarding a future update. I was curious when it was going to drop but I didn’t want to bug you about it.
