Re: Can't enable ClearPath Servos via C86ACCP Sotware enable
Are you referring to the hard/soft jumpers on the C86ACCP. My understanding and I could very well be wrong, is those are for homing against a hard stop or a software limit.

Re: UMC10 from Flashcut to Acorn?
You may need to get into the drives so keep it all in tact as well as the DB9 serial converter. You may use a good USB to Serial cable. Download the Flashcut DCN Utility and the manual. Marty, Is there any issue with connecting and looking into the drives settings as they are now? I do have the cab...

Re: UMC10 from Flashcut to Acorn?
I did end up removing the existing relays in the cabinet. Used R5 & R6 on the main relay board. I followed one of Franco’s videos and it works well via VCP or MDI forward and reverse. It wasnt in the order of set up but I was waiting on parts from Mouser. 779E4F14-3291-41B8-8834-BCF3AB558265.jpeg

Re: Connector and Pin ID?

Much less potential for noise and errors. 2F45A0D5-3B77-4572-B188-7E94283F46A0.jpeg 28A994D8-2417-434E-A168-D98B995C702E.j...

Re: No Heartbeat LED? DON'T BE SO QUICK TO DEBRICK!
I appreciate the advice. Working hot had bitten me more than once.
