Re: New Build LMS 3990 Hi Torque Mini Mill
If you are already doing manual tool changes, post each tool path as a separate file. Then, just do the tool change before running the file.

Re: V5.1 Lathe distance to go isn't working
Distance to go shows that amount of movement remaining in the current G-code line. It does not show the amount of material to be removed from the part.

Re: Enable outputs on Acorn
If you disable drives on an Acorn, you will have to re-home everytime you re-enable the drives. Acorn is an open-loop system.

Re: Homebuilt tool touchoff block
Are you sure your tool is grounded through the spindle? If you have ceramic bearings, you'll need a separate ground wire with an alligator clip for your tool.

Re: why is my origin inverted?
Most likely your machine axis are setup incorrectly. On a mill, X+ is the SPINDLE moving towards the right. Y+ is the SPINDLE moving towards the column, and Z+ is the SPINDLE moving up. The mistake people commonly make is even though the spindle doesn't actually move in X and Y, the axis are set up ...

Re: VFD control voltage
Well, the fact that you get 10V without the VFD connect pretty much narrows it down to the VFD loading the analog out. You might try a signal isolator:
