I’ve searched and maybe my googlefu is just not up to the task.
Will the Gen2/Redline HMI support 1 or 2 ATC’s?
4 tool holders is not really enough 8, it better
also, can the Redline Controller work with the RapidATC from the vendor themselves or is it only compatible wih the ATC sold here?
Based on the Redline interface there appear to be support for up to 4 ATC’s with a total of 16 tools.
If you look in the bottom section of the screen shot you’ll see ATC 1-4 used for assigning which tool number is located in which slot of the indicated ATC:
The only caveat to this, I believe, is that if you’re using a QCW table with a QCW adapter (ATC mounts on the front of the QCW table) it will only accommodate one ATC configured that way. More than one ATC require that you table mount your ATC’s. I’m not 100% certain on this, while I have the ATC and a QCW I’m waiting for the software to complete development to allow ATC configuration / use.
That’s good to see, I’ll dive more into the manual. I mostly work with MDF and Acrylic for Flight Sim Cockpits so having all the tools available really helps my workflow, that said I’m going from 0 ATC to 4 Tools but 8 would be better for my needs
Flight sim cockpits? That’s fascinating.
If you’re able, I hope you post some pictures of your work once you get everything running. I’d love to see it.
Cheers.
Sure,
right now these panels are 3 part, a backplate, light plate and legend plate.
I want to do them the way real ones are done which have the light plate and legend plate are 1 peice, but to do so you have 2 different holes, front side is the smaller and the back side has a larger hole to allow the switch/pot nut to be recessed a little but the larger white ring s/b clear to allow light thru to illuminate the knobs indica.
i need a CNC to do that, can’t do on a laser, hence my move to the Onefinity.
getting the Foreman to also allow me to make the MDF frame parts
I do run a etsy store selling these parts
this is my own build (a WIP)
Just, WOW, beautiful work.
You should check out the Glowforge laser forum. There a doctor from Boston doing the full cockpit for an Airbus I think using his laser. He just finished up the pilot’s emergency oxygen face mask and face shield.
This is an EPIC build! Love it!
I’m in batch 4 for my Gen2 and can’t wait to work on our type b panels which are virtually identical to real panels
patiently waiting for batch4
