Fusion 360 Post processsor for centroid acorn? (resolved)

Post by DanielCA92563 »

Hi All,
For those of you with an Acorn board- just wondering which post-processor, if any, people are using for fusion 360?
Should I use the centroid post processor Version: 41601? at

or a generic Fanuc post?
Any help is appreciated.

I am running the Centroid post and I'm having no problems with it.

The centroid post processor on fusion 360 work perfect, ive been testing it with the acorn for over 6 months without a problem.

Has anyone used / developed a Fusion 360 post that will support multiple tool orientation (3+1 or 3+2 machining)?

I have been using the Centroid post that is available, however it does not support tool orientation. Before diving into the world of post development and comparing it to the Mastercam Post I have, I figured I would ask here.

EDIT: I realized this is in the acorn forum. I am using a CNC10 based control, however I will leave it here as it should be relevant to all.

For MILLING use the Centroid post. My 3 axis mill has no issues with it.
There is a beta out for the lathe on this forum, but has yet to be thoroughly tested.
