Re: Rotary axis with gantry router?
Well I know with the Acorn I'm not going to get two independently driven X (or Y) motors, AND have a spare for the rotary. :) g. Independently driven or have the ability to perform independent auto square? Your machine has never had an independently driven X motor, they are hardware paired. I have ...

Re: CNC12 and RS-485...
Its as easy as can be. These are the wire colors from our Spindle Control Harness, but you'll get the drift:
Black and Red are analog volts. Blue and Yellow are SPIN_FWD logic

Re: CNC12 and RS-485...
My current ShopBot configuration uses a USB-RS-485 adapter to talk to my Yaskawa VFD. Is it possible to configure CNC12 to use that interface instead of trying to figure out if the VFD will take a 0..10V signal off the Acorn? Tnx. g. Gene... No issues whatsoever, one or two simple parameter changes...

Re: Rotary axis with gantry router?
You can hardware pair the gantry axis to allow adding a 4th axis. Every ShopBot ever shipped from Durham has been wired in this manner. We are currently shipping our Acorn 4 ClearPath systems configured this way and are including independent axis Auto square

Re: Axis motion after electronics moved to new enclosure
Yes, confirmed. Leadshine drives and their clone must be connected to the DB25 header and pulse set to 100k htz

Re: Analog Out weirdness, please help
Are you using the recommended 18ga twisted pair (shielded) wire?
Have you installed the often noted 0.10 mfd capacitor across the analog terminals?
Also, I do not have the confidence in DMM products that Sean has. I have been burned by them in too many instances.
