Version 2.3006

[ArtF]

Hi All:

  Version 2.3006 is online. Its primary addition is the Alpha release of Auggie, so
if you have no pokeys and no use for the controller, just delete the Icon for it. It will
one day become useful as a wizard program on its own without motion control, but
at the moment is released for testing for anyone with a Pokeys device.

  A video is here..

By the way,

Without any hardware its not a definitive test, but Auggie installs and starts on on W10 Pro.

I poked around a bit and found the paradox resolver in the diags.  I've always needed one of those.

  Awesome, so no problem finding out how to select the motion screen and such? Excellent.
I really needed to see how peoples machines respond to it all, its all new code, and only two
of us have ever run it really. Ill have a very interesting laser I think..  this is all very experimental,
and really pushes the envelop. Tempest of course is the planner, and its well tested overall with
many hundreds having tested it over the years. But the Gcode with scripting is all kinda new,
so it will be interesting to see what kind of use it can be put to...  as an intro to scripting its a  good tool,
combined with the screen designer one could design a control panel for near any process
and script its logic. (Or at least thats the end plan, motion and scripting are turned on, IO
is not yet turned on except by script..)

Hi all,
Is it just my system?
Can barely hear the YouTube video it's so low all attention is required in trying to hear and none left to try and digest what is being said.

Thanks

Hi Ken:

  Seems too loud to me on my system most of the time.. one section is low, but the rest seems loud...

OK,
I've volume full on and the sounds comes and goes but never really loud save the first minute or so.
I've had volume issues before may try a different speaker set up.

Thanks

Ken, I got these for Mrs. Moose a couple months ago, and she's been very happy with them.  Not hi-fi gaming speakers that'll shake the house, but it'll save the extra dollars for bigger steppers in your Auggie controlled Blidgeport conversion.

Art, you say in the video that you can't zero axes when paused.  Does that affect re-homing when you wake up the next day and continue that 42 hour milling job, or restarting the router after a driver avoiding a wild moose takes out a power pole?

Worth a try, got a set added to cart.

Thanks

  Nope, you can home, which is usually the point. In fact, if running  job, it may be worth stopping now and tehn to rehome and continue as that repairs any lost steps which may have occured..
