Finally got time to start the Acorn installation into my Techno-Isel router and here are some photo of the progress to date:
Here is the original controller and the mounting area after it was removed:
After removing the original controller I designed the Acorn mounting using Alibre Design:
Here is where I'm at now and I'll probably finish the wiring this evening and start testing tomorrow.

Re: Techno-Isel Router Acorn Upgrade
Looks great!
Are you going to use the original power supply for the motors?

No
The large power supply in the photo is a Mean Well LRS-350-24 that will supply 24 VDC for the stepper motors. The smaller supply is a Mean Well RD-35B which will supply 24 VDC for the ACORN logic and 5 VDC for the stepper driver control.

Re: Techno-Isel Router Acorn Upgrade
What was the large toroidal supply in the early photo?

The power supply that was originally supplied with the router.

Re: Techno-Isel Router Acorn Upgrade
Was that toroidal power supply not suitable to reuse? What kind of voltages did it provide?
I like them over switchers if they can do the job.
Looking good so far. I'd like to buy/build a router/plasma table...some day!

Re: Techno-Isel Router Acorn Upgrade
Was that toroidal power supply not suitable to reuse? Not a simple re-use - Would have to be completely modified as a lot of the electronics were on the main controllers circuit board. Because of the value of the Isel controller it was a better decision to leave it intact and list it on eBay.
What kind of voltages did it provide? 24 VDC
I like them over switchers if they can do the job. Switchers work fine for low current motors.
