how about a photo of the power supply so we can see what wires are connect to which terminals.

I'm so excited about the USB-BOB! I've wanted something like this since I first bought my Acorn! :o I would definitely not be upset at being a beta tester... lol ok great, post a link to a photo album of your machine and let us know what you would do with the usb-bob Gladly, here's a link to my mac...

did these computers have CNC12 installed and configured with license file on them?

Thanks for your prompt response, it is clear that it is not possible to use the Acorn controller for the project because it does not work with a closed loop system and is designed for other purposes. The Oak and Hickory drivers are designed to operate in a closed loop system and this is where we wi...

Could you tell me if Acorn can be configure it with closed loop system?

Regards!

acorn can run in a Hybrid closed loop setup. the drives close the loop not Acorn.
that is why i suggested using AC servo motors and drives, they close the loop.

sounds like you got things wired wrong. take off all wires and double check, triple trace out your wiring. what schematic are you following? photos of your setup? what make model stepper drive are you using? need more info to be of good help. review this post. https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic....

ask Solidworks. Centroid doesn't create post processors for Cad/cam systems, that is up to the creators of the cad/cam system.

when you switch cnc12 from inches to mm all values in CNC12 that are in parameters will convert. it will not convert your g code programs. and all a macro is.... is a g code program. :-) like tom said, its up to you to let CNC12 know what units your g code is in with the G20 or 21. Glad you are maki...

i second that.

nice thanks for posting! great work.
would love to see a nice overall shot of the machine
