I've just released my new screenset for UCCNC, if anyone's interested.

Great work on Auto Zero tool. :-)
I have one question I could not find thr answer myself, I use a laser cross-hair pointer to set the X-Y workpiece start point. In Mach3 I added a button and two display to store the X and Y offsets from the mill.
Is there a way to do the same on your screenset ?
thanks
Sergio

In the Mach3 2010 Screen, or the UCCNC 2017 screen?

UCCNC 2017 ... don't use anymore mach3 ... was easier to explan in mach3 in uccnc i use P1 button - M200 macro but I liked the mach3 solution ...

[ger21]

Yes, the built in screen editor is easy to use, and the macro language is similar.
The issue is where do you put it.
I can give you some more info later.

[ger21]

You could use a simple macro like this, with the offset values in the macro.
Put it in your profile macros folder.
You can call it with M20220 in MDI, or add a button, and use 20220 for the button number.

How is UCCNC coming along Ger?

[ger21]

Quite nicely. They are steadily adding new features.
The latest test release added G41/G42 compensation, but it's going to need a bit of testing still.

The only thing missing is better rotary axis support.

And they have future plans to implement S Curve acceleration, which is really nice on high speed machines, as they'll run a lot smoother.

I was going to do the update yesterday but didnt have my cord with me at work. Was going to bring it today... forgot. Guess I need to send myself a reminder for tomorrow morning. haha

Hey Ger. I need to make the step and move on from Mach3. I see CNCDrive purchased UCCNC. Has it resulted in a lock down of their software as far as screen modding? Would be nice to have a US based vendor but I have purchased other items form overseas within problems. I was going to also get their eth400 controller.
