Awesome video Eric

[@Jegber]

Wait, you are ditching Mach4? YES!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I've never before used software which regularly corrupts itself and requires a reinstall.

[@rufustoad1]

Dont think they are ditching Mach. They are in bed with Mach4

[@AvidCNC]

All controllers sold after the beginning of August have the Centroid Acorn control PCB and run CNC12 software.

[@JNWoodworks]

So many built in features for probing!

[@shankleton]

So, I have a centroid system, retrofit for another cnc. I'm assuming this would work, if I set it up correctly.

[@stlwoodworking]

This is so awesome!!

[@gregobj]

I am far too excited about this switch to centroid!

[@kurtmartin8162]

Is this Mach 4 or is this only for the new hardware?

[@rufustoad1]

Hoping you get a reply but after looking it appears you can only get this if you spend another $3K and purchase the new EX control system.

[@kurtmartin8162]

@@rufustoad1 I did get a reply It is a new item and full system that they have. I currently have the older system and was hoping this would mesh in but alas....

[@rufustoad1]

@@kurtmartin8162 Thank you. Can I assume the only way to get this is to purchase the new EX control system even if you have an older system?

[@kurtmartin8162]

Yes that’s what I have found out.

[@rufustoad1]

So is this screen set available if you already have Mach4 and where do you get this touch probe software as it is not on the Avid website?

[@AvidCNC]

Unfortunately, this is not available for Mach4, it is part of the CNC12 software with the new EX Controller.

Eric, what laser crosshair is installed on your demo machine?

[@AvidCNC]

Just an off brand one from Amazon (ox laser)
