Re: B axis rotation is very slow
Hi Mike I am using Aspire and the inverse time post for my A axis rotary. I had the same problem when I switched to the Acorn. My solution is to manually edit the posted gcode to increase the feed rate. Aspire picks the feed rate from the tool params, usually around 40 or 50 in my case, which I then...

Re: Trouble with the update 4.6 < router version requires a router license>
Hi Marty
Thanks for the reply.
I do have the system running following the above procedure. Now looking at the VCP and the code behind it.
There are a few things that I would like to change. Do you know of a way to print the current VCP for reference??

Re: Trouble with the update 4.6 < router version requires a router license>
Hi Keith It make sense that the mill settings won't update the router settings. However, there is something strange. As I went into the wizard to set up the first page, the normal list of drive types was not there and in its place highlighted in yellow was "Previous version". From there on...

Re: Trouble with the update 4.6
Hi Swissi You are correct in that I was trying to make a router version using a mill report. Previous to that I was able to make a 4.6 mill version which took the report as it should have with no problem. After that, I tried to make a fresh router system and had the aforementioned results. I do have...

Re: Trouble with the update 4.6
Hi All More notes. I did another install selecting the router version this time. I was able to install the router pro license. I then tried to restore the report and the system said that it did so but then it said " This update requires the control to be powered off for changes to take effect.&...

Re: Trouble with the update 4.6
Hi Swissi
Thanks for the reply. As to the report, my bad. I just looked at the date and assumed it was the correct file. I went back into the saved cncm
folder and found the correct file which worked to upgrade to 4.6. I do have the router license and getting that in is the next project.

Trouble with the update 4.6 < router version requires a router license>
I finally got the update installed as the mill version. Tried initially to install as the router version which resulted in a failure to communicate with acorn. Tried again as mill and this time it loaded and ran. I then tried to restore the current report. The correct file came up and the the progra...

Re: Router version
Hi Tom
I had read that but do not want to mess with the beta. I assume 4.6 will be the required
stable version to use the router VCP ??
