Centroid Acorn Controller - Has anyone tried one?

So that answers the question if calculations can be done in macros.

That does look very like Fanuc programming, but as they don't seem to mention that anywhere in their blurb, I'm going to guess it's they're own version of it. (Fanuc let's you access machine variables via variable numbers within G-code, so you can do things like adjust g-code depending on machine status, or adjust tool offsets via G-code if you're using a tool checker/setter during runs).

Yep it looks like these 'variables' are available to use if you know how they match. No PLC code needed from what I can see.

Ill try this tomorrow and test / feedback.
