Thanks, I'll give that a try. The values aren't changing on their own (via corrupt file or something). The shopbot I use is at a Makerspace and I've noticed the my program my take 2x or more longer...

Is it possible for a part file to change the ShopBot ramp values?

I'm thinking of getting the shopbot probe to probe 3D objects. From reading the forum, it looks like most people import the probe data into Aspire. I'd like to import into Fusion 360. Can somebody...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for

Limit switches work great for X-Y homing, but they don't seem to be enables for jogging round. Is there a setting that enables/disables the proximity switches.

Is there a way to see what the absolute position is, not the work coordinate position. I don't need it displayed all the time. I just want to move the spindle to a spot and see what the absolute...

Thanks, I'll do that

I took a closer look at the shopbot and it turns out the pinon gear on the y-motor was a little loose. I tightening the set screws and it's working MUCH better now.

I did grab the spindle and gantry and try to move them to see if there was any play, I didn't notice anything, but I'll do it again. I have noticed a difference between climb and conv cutting. ...

On the Shopbot (PRSalpha 96-48) at my makerspace, I'm getting holes that are not round. The picture below is about 1.5" diameter. I cut it with a 3/8" end mill. Any suggestions as to what's...

I'm using the Shopbot PRSalpha 96-48 Model 10216-01 at my makerspace. I noticed the spindle is not vertical from front to back (X-Z place). I know how to adjust left and right by loosening the 6...

I was using the ShopBot at my makerspace (it's been a while since I've used it). I downloaded the latest Fusion 360 ShopBot (openSBP) post processor (ver 42961) from...

Anyone know the industry part number for the z-zero plate wago connector?

Thanks I'll do a test with the message window.

I was looking at the VD command in the config file:
ShopBot_PRS96x48alpha.sbd dated 4/23/16

It has the following:
VD, 1, 3, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, .1, 0, 1, 1, -2500, -7500, 8800, 4600, 0,...

At my makerspace, somehow the config file got messed up and we had to reset our PRS Alpha shopbot. When I zeroed the z-axis with the z-zero plate, it was about 1/4 inch off (plate thickness setting...

I see. CN is running the scripts in the SbParts\Custom\ directory.

I'm looking at an OpenSBP post generated by Fusion 360. Can anyone tell me what these two commands do?

CN, 90
CN, 91

Thanks. I think I'll just delete it from my version - clean things up a bit

I was looking at MTC.sbp and can't figure out why CHECK_MTL subroutine is there. It doesn't seem to do anything. No matter what, it's going to set &z_adjust to zero.

First line is commented out. ...

Thanks. I was looking at the programming handbook. I just found it hard to believe it doesn't have ELSE. Also, it seems I can only execute one command after THEN like this

IF blah blah THEN...

Does OpenSBP support IF - Then like this

IF blah blah THEN
statement
statement
statement
END IF

If so, does it also support ELSE?

How do I move my ShopBot control software and all the settings to a new laptop?

That's plan B. I was hoping someone already had and XYZ zero script that I could just use. I doubt it's too hard to figure out how to combine the Z-zero script into yours. But since I'm new to...

[QUOTE=jerry_stanek;193377]This is a 3 axis routine[/QUOTE

Hi Jerry. This seems to be the exact same file that srwtlc created. It's just X-Y. I don't see anything for z zeroing.
