Re: Acorn ClearPath DIY Control for AVID & ShopBot
Vevor enclosures in different sizes are also available on Amazon. I'm not pushing Amazon because, frankly, I think they are kind of evil, but the reality is that enclosures are fairly heavy and always large. As a result, you may well end up paying as much for shipping as you do for the enclosure if ...

Re: Pro license binding and demo version
I'm the youngest of four.... I've only know pain and misery my whole life! Ahhh.... Sign me up when you need Beta testers once those Alpha testers have been exposed to Gamma radiation. As for DDCS... It actually has a decent set of reviews, and you cannot beat the price point. That said, I honestly ...

Re: Pro license binding and demo version
LOL.... FWIW, "the brother" apparently is stalking me. Now I have to watch what I say. Keith: Yes, I just learned about that upcoming product in a different post yesterday. I have to say that I was really happy to see some additional development of Acorn compatible products. I was *really*...

Re: Pro license binding and demo version
Thank you, Keith, for the offer. I may take you up on that in a few months. In the meantime, I've got to work on the retrofit and such. I was just trying to jump the gun a bit and to give my brother something so that he feels engaged in the project. In the end, I am either a sucker or a very nice si...

Re: CL57T (3.0) Stepper Diver Issue (DB25 - Step Pull Up/Down Voltage Issue?)
One thing that looks odd to me on the CL57T is that you don't have any encoder connected for feedback. The CL57T is for *closed loop* stepper motor control, while the 542T is for an *open loop* stepper motor.

Re: Pro license binding and demo version
Keith: OK, that is fair. I understand the point of view here, and I considered this as the reason why I didn't get very far. As for having a second Acorn. I would certainly not complain about that, but I haven't been fortunate enough to find something that is for sale. I can't really justify the exp...

Re: Pro license binding and demo version
Thank you for the clarification; that is what I thought. As a nit point, however, I assume that any changes to the configuration of the Acorn itself will similarly not affect the licensing. That would, IMHO, be a pretty dumb thing to do, but I want to be safe and be sure. From the sounds of it, the ...

Pro license binding and demo version
I'm sure this has been asked before, but after searching through several pages of results from a search, I wasn't able to find my specific question. I apologize in advance for what is probably redundant. I decided to move ahead with an Acorn conversion, and I purchased both this and the Pro. It will...

Is there any way for an external application to obtain the current position?
Is there any way for an external application to obtain the current position of an axis? Better yet, is there an Event Handler interface wherein an external application can be notified when an axis' position changes (to prevent polling)?
