Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn

You could use the generic china one for like 80USD that most people use in te DIY atmosphere.

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn

The acorn is quite a good value tbh. Edingcnc starter set is also around the 360 mark. If one opts for linuxcnc and wants to use a mesa card (like most people do) you'll also quickly spend 200+ shipping + a whole lot of your time. GBRL is cheaper but also much more limited. So overall it is quite a ...

Re: Delta ASDA-B2 ACORN WIRING INFORMATION

Al009 just means the position error exceeds what is set (i believe it is normally 60k pulses; look in the manual; it is some a parameter). This generally happens if the drive is not tuned and/or it is put under recessive stress where it does not have enough power to overcome that. You can monitor it...

Re: Delta ASDA-B2 ACORN WIRING INFORMATION

Have you tried running the delta drive through their software? As in simple jogging etc. If that eorks you know at least the drive is working.
