Re: Oak board with Estun Servo 410/411 errors

What happens when you try pressing F3(MDI)? If the same thing happens, try inverting the analog speed signals to the Estun drive. Out of curiosity, did you purchase the Estun OAK interface cables from Centroid or did you build your own?

Re: Acorn ATC Overview

I'm glad that setting up the turret was easy. The virtual control should be working. Did you not use the Wizard to set all of your settings prior to getting the items for your turret? If not, then that explains why your VCP isn't working. All you have to do is set parameter 219 to 1 and then reboot ...

Re: Glass Scales and motors disabled (Axis Free)

When the axes are in a "free" state, the DRO follows the linear scales.

Re: Need help re configuring PLC outputs

What schematic are you following as based on Centroid's database, a schematic with filename S14471 was shipped out with your control and that schematic doesn't have any wiring for a tool changer? There was a point in which Centroid standardized all of the inputs and outputs on a system. That means t...

Re: Connecting Touch Probe and Tool Hight Measurement Plate to Acorn at the same time

Based on your description, it sounds like the value of parameter 11 should be set to -50007. If the ProbeTripped input OPENS when it's tripped, then the value of parameter 11 should be a negative value. If the ProbeTripped input CLOSES when it's tripped, then the value of parameter 11 should be a po...

Re: Thermwood C53 5x10 Retrofit

The ACORN software isn't using parameter 64 for that axis pairing feature. Are you stating that the system wasn't working originally and that by setting parameter 64 then it started working? Or are you just assuming that the settings in the Wizard should have set parameter 64 accordingly and because...

Re: Tool Library Offset

Thanks for that finding because I see exactly what is going on now. The G91.1 is not a valid G code in the Centroid controls. G91 is however, which places the control in Incremental mode. Your program as it is currently written is negating the affect of the G90, which places the control in Absolute ...

Re: aceeleration in .nc code

To put a reduction on my machine is to redesign it again and it is not viable, if you tell me that I can not put 126.5 or another larger value in overal turn ratio, I should get this control out. previously I used this equipment with mach3 and it worked perfectly it's a shame not being able to fix ...

Re: Encoder Basics

Can these encoders be added to existing steppers? As long as the drives that are moving those steppers can support the encoder feedback, I don't see a reason why you can't use them. You will need to check the drive's manual for the encoder specifications that it requires. The ACORN does not have an...
