This was my (pre-caffeinated) thought. So does that mean I don't need the resistor at all in this case? If so, would I be better off wiring it like they outline, so that the LED power is controlled by the button, or would it be better to wire the LED directly to the USB-BOB's 5V and COM, and then t...

There is only analog control output on ACORN and ACORNSIX for spindles.

The only external drives supported by ALLIN1DC are Centroid. I know the DC1 works, not sure about AC/DC.

You should be able to use the gecko drives to try and move the thing at least. I'm sure you could figure out some way of giving it some commands.

Beautiful work as usual, Uwe. Soldering all the resistors is the price to pay for the versatility of those open collector outputs.

I do agree on how nice it is to work with cartridge style soldering irons. I recently got one for home and it is really nice how quickly it reaches temperature.

On page 13 of the draft manual, there's a wiring diagram for an SPST button. I am installing a 3-position rotary switch to set up for 1x, 10x, 100x speed multipliers for the X and Z MPGs on my lathe. Attached is a photo of the back of the switch. I think the way I'd wire this, based on the manual i...

Alright, glad you're making progress!

Is it possible that the Clearpath internal hard stop homing was accidentally enabled?

Hello, that board should still be within the warranty period of 12 months.

What type of inputs do you want to be preprogrammed by Centroid and included with the Wizard? One that might be useful (though may not need to be in the wizard, I'm not sure) - is an override enable/disable. I want to have to hit a switch to enable the feed and spindle speed override knobs, so that...

Is that a 9mm mounting hole for the rotary encoders? or something different? Most of the ones I've used and have kicking around here with a 6mm shaft have a 9mm mounting diameter. Just checking before I start drilling! Yes, you should do a clearance fit for M9x0.75 threads + 3mm diameter hole ( or ...
