Re: need help with new cnc set up

I looked at the PDF file and it looks to me that you would tie the positive PUL, DIR, and ENA on the driver to +5 VDC and the negative PUL, DIR, and ENA terminals on the driver to the ACORN just as shown in the Leadshine conection drawing S14851.

Re: Acorn users' locations.

You can just click on your user name then click on "User Control Panel" in the drop down menu, and then on the "Profile" tab. Scroll down and you'll see "Location" and if you enter yours then it will display your location as you see in my info that displays in this note.

Re: Encoders - need REALLY basic info

I've searched a bunch already and seems like no one uses them.:roll: But when you're talking about a hobby oriented product like this (and Mach needing just a simple hall sensor for threading), it's no big surprise they aren't being used. Unless I'm not understanding how that thing works, it's kind...
