Good Morning,

Any thoughts on whether a firmware upgrade will solve my AcornSix problems?

Thanks

Rich

I'm hoping that the firmware is the problem. Now that I switched back from the AcornCNC to the AcornSix, only the XB axis provides movement.

Just to clarify a bit more. I used the open collector terminals for the XA, XB, and Y axes. I used the 5V step and direction terminals for the two Z axes.
I thought I posted a report with my first post. Not sure why it didn't appear.

I used the open collector terminals for the AcornSix. I used the same step rates for both boards.

The board is labeled PN, 15114, QC461 with a date of 3/15/23.

Last year I purchased an AcornSix board for a 48x96 Vytek laser table. All went well with the upgrade -- travel on five axes and homing. I had only one persistent problem with my paired XA and XB axis. Over 8 feet of travel, XB went roughly 3/16" further than XA. When given a G0X96 command, mov...

It worked perfectly for at least 2 years. I suspect that there was a homing failure as you say. I don't remember anything specifically. If I start homing and stop it in the middle, would that cause it to zero out? I suspect not. I've done this more than a few times. If the gantry is on the far end o...

Greetings, I'm having a problem with CNC12 Acorn Router V5.08. It is similar to a problem I had with the previous version which was V4.8. With V5.08, the Wizard page for Axis Squaring resets and loses my settings. It first happened last week. All my macros were off. Once I discovered that the Axis S...

Sorry for my slow responses. We've been on site on an installation for the last two weeks. I did a fresh install and rebuilt the system from Wizard PDFs I printed and I rebuilt my VCP using buttons and HTML files used previously. v5.06 worked for a month or so before this issue occured. Now that I'm...

The report was made when I was in the process of diagnosing the problem.

I didn't have a problem with my set up. The machine worked fastastic for 3 years. Worked well after upgrading to V5.06.

One morning control of the Z axis with the VCP or WMPG-4 stopped.

Greetings, Our Multicam MG CNC router has been productively controlled by an Acorn board for the last 3 years. Last week I restarted it but after homing, the Z axis would not move using the wireless WMPG-4 or the VCP. I could only get movement using MDI. The X and Y axis were also demonstrating issu...
