I ran the program using the gcode from the resources tab on onefinity. it did what it does and then i tried to install my ATC with the pins provided and guess what, the first pin fit right and tight, the second one towards the back was an inch and a quarter beyond where it should be. Did something change ? Is there a different setup than the one I got? It looks like they should be 15 inches apart as I measured on the riser, but the program drilled them 16-1/4 inches apart. What gives, elite journeyman with Easy ATC. did I download the wrong setup?
this is what i used.
ok so I figured it out. Somehow when placing the setup file on my spoil board material in the vetrics program I accidentally stretched the entire figure. my bad.
ok all set silly error on my part reloaded the program and reran the correct setup and bingo it fit on the pins perfectly. step two coming up. wish me luck.
never let a kitten in the room while programming. now i cant find the file or I should say I can no longer open the file to see where the absolute coordinates are(yes I did fail to write them down) to the pockets are. i have the file but vectrice will no longer open it. so there seems to be no way to get the thing in the same spot as before. any help would be appreciated. Yes i did email vectrics but i was hoping someone here could help. this is the file: oops seems that a nc. file is not authorized oh hell now what?
looks like i did it once again. I solved my own problem,or should i say onefinity supplied the means to solve it. they include a disc and peg that you mount in the spindle put the disc in the rapid change pocket and carefully line up the peg till it slips into the disc sitting on the pocket without moving the disc (this is where that masso remote hand held controller comes in very handy) and take the coordinates off the machine. and bobs your uncle you have the numbers you need to set up the masso tool change functions. phew that was close. here is the link: services.rapidchangeatc.com/docs/grblhal/location
