Hello all,
I am looking for some info and advice.
Can I go directly to using CNC11 V3.16 with my setup or do I need to install an older version first? I downloaded most of what I think I need but can not find the older install manual. Is it on the website somewhere I have not seen or can someone provide me a PDF of it?
The Virtual panel is now mentioned all over the web site, how do I make use of it? Will it be part of a new CNC11 release? The Acorn page says CNC12 is only for Acorn.
Does anyone have a simple way to sequence the PC with the MPU11 start so the hole thing comes up and goes down gracefully when I turn the main power on and off?
Any and all advice to avoid common mistakes and adhere to best practice is more than welcome, I am all ears.
So it took me a lot longer to get to this point than anticipated as life kicked my but for a while. But here is where I am at. Machine is stripped, servos have tachs removed/encoders installed, I bought a VFD, a MPG, a servo PS and all my stuff is on the bench for a full bench test. The other day I had some luck; I found an 24" HP all-in-one touch screen in someones garbage! I got it to boot and run. Until the display failed as it was cracked. (tease!) Rather than be deterred I did some research and built a mini-ITX PC with the guts of the HP (i7,3.4Ghz, 4Gb ram, 120Gb SSD) I also bought a touch screen, the Asus is a nice monitor, thanks Marty for the recommendation.
