Re: Acorn suddenly having issue turning on.
I also had the same problem when first figuring things out (5v for the drives). Im using a leadshine knockoff. What i did was make a time on delay circuit relay. This way when 24v is turned on (applies power to acorn) it also powers the time delay circuit and in X number of seconds the relay closes ...

Re: Huanyang VFD erratic spindle speed
Hey Gary
The cat6e is supposedly “awg 24” and using 4 wires should total to an equivalent awg18 wire. Anyway, i will try what you did and hopefully might work for me too <fingers crossed>.

CNC12 initializing script
Is there a script that CNC12 runs when you boot up the software?
I want to add some code to it where it turns on/off some outputs during startup.
Thanks!

Re: Using external keypad and and keymapping them for cnc12
Hey Marty Im from the Philippines so all the good stuff are far from where I am. Cost just skyrockets to bring stuff in. I had to pay maybe about $140 on top of the acorn cost just for shipping and taxes. :D (well worth it) Anyway, im looking into “hidmacros” a keyboard emulator. Looks promising. Wi...

Using external keypad and and keymapping them for cnc12
Hey guys, Buying an Xkeys is not practical from where im from. It would cost 3-4x the cost of the keys just to ship and after tax. I was wondering if any of you have experience with using an external usb keypad and binding them using some software to be used in conjunction with cnc12. Iv seen the vi...

Re: hom file with output on/off help
Hi Scott Thanks a bunch! Just to clarify, I cant assign a specific function on the wizard because there is no specific function i want to achieve with the available list. Instead, I keep them at “OUTPUT 3,4 and 5.” M61 to M68 is a custom (default) macro which i openned and says M94 /61 —-> so /61 co...

Re: hom file with output on/off help
Ok, i’ve recently upgraded to 4.12 in hopes this would solve this problem but still to no avail. Again, my output 1 is connected to the solenoid. I tried the MDR typing in M94/1 and i checked the i/o map and to my surprise turned on these output pins on the attached photo. Also, i check the macro fo...
