Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!
I haven't even gotten my unit out of the box but I'm excited about the VCP potential! One thing I can't find information on - if I have my monitor in "portrait" mode is it possible to set the control matrix at the top or bottom of the screen? I could only get a 22" resistive touchscre...

Re: New Build, PM2700 lathe with Acorn, Videos and Photos <upgraded to AC servos>
Thank you- I use a servo because it is smaller and better rpm control C-Axis with clutch because of the lash in the gearbox Encoder is needed because the gear ratio is not 1:1 Limit switches are NPN on one end, other end soft limit Gear ratio for axis drive 2:1 with HTD belt The conversion works li...

Aside from the fact that I can't see my part in Graph mode and probably need to learn it a bit better, I noticed it has a lot of preset thre...

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!
I'm a CNC newb so my apologies if this is pretty basic stuff - but what constitutes an Axis? Is it assumed this is a motor? Reason I ask is that I will be setting up a CNC lathe with a spindle servo (1), x-axis (2), z-axis (3). I'll hopefully be able to work with the spindle as a c-axis through the ...

Re: New Build, PM2700 lathe with Acorn, Videos and Photos <upgraded to AC servos>
I found your videos on youtube, and safe to say I'm blown away! I've been on+off about converting my lathe, but if I could get to this level of functionality would I ever be thrilled! Quite a while ago I realized Centroid would be the best route for me, and this really seals the deal. Being entirely...
