Wow, this is great! I can see a lot of work went into this. I wish I had it when I started down the Acorn path.

Acorn Router Pro CNC, What do you get?

First, thanks for working so diligently to improve the product. I currently have the Mill Pro licence, and I'm trying to understand what one gets by going to Router Pro? Some re-skinning, and I see support for lasers, which is very cool. Beyond that, I am not understanding what you get, and if it is...

Re: Huanyang Inverter GT Series Information

If you don't mind me asking, why did you get the GT series, as compared to the HY? That is, the setup you described uses V/F control, but the GT series is capable of running in vector control. V/F control will not give you optimal torque at lower frequencies. The GT drives are more expensive in comp...

Re: J Tech Laser - compatibility question

Future plans for Acorn PWM are to pipe a 5 vdc PWM output to pin 14 on the DB25 and create two parameters to control the base frequency and duty cycle of the PWM to facilitate easy variable power control of Laser modules via Gcode. This is a new software feature (hardware is in place) and when avai...
