Hello Jeffrey, I hope you will be feeling better soon! From our records for K10960, it should have an ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard. The SSD installed is recorded as an OCZ OCZSSD2-1AGT60G which is a SATA II device. That Gigabyte motherboard is for Intel processors while the console is recorded as ha...

You'll find the input and output assignments in mpu.plc. You'll need to scroll down a little bit but they still somewhat near the top of the file.

M3 ON M5 OFF S = power signal (0-10 vdc to the wire controller, 0 = 0 and 10 vdc max power Thank you. So is that a spindle? Which output on the board? Is that a relay? Or analog? As Keith said, assign SPINFWD to a relay and use that for the enable signal. He then suggested using the analog output (...

I think you've gotten a few orders of magnitude off on the capacitance required. For less than 2V ripple, you need greater than 8 millifarads. Those are all microfarads. It'll be hard to find a suitable cap on Amazon. You may remember when capacitors in the microfarad range were labelled with MFD. Y...

From the user guide you uploaded, I would set up the I/O like this: *All used inputs set to pull up - that should include IN5 and IN6. *All unused inputs should be set to "Not configured". *IN2 is supposedly a dedicated Enable input so I would set IN2 as "Amp Enable-LO Enables With Cl...

I was able to debrick the acorn without too much fuss. The most painful part was waiting for the sd card to format, LOL. I couldn't help myself, I had to try to take some cuts. https://www.tiktok.com/@monstermjs/video/7462378286782385451 I got a new lube pump and light tower in today. I'm really ex...

Peak voltage after the full wave bridge will be 36 Vrms * sqrt(2) so you'll end up with about 51 volts peak. You will need a bulk capacitance to clean up the resulting choppy waveform. Take a look here for a refresher: https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/diode/diode_6.html . I think you'd be able t...

For my idea, the acorn 4 axis would do you fine. I don't think multiple axis software pairing is an option and it sounds like you need to pair 3 different axis's. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. If you don't need auto axis squaring, it's a lot easier. I believe we have much improved software ...

You may have been recommended the AcornSix due to the complexity of the machine or number of required PLC I/O. Does lathe and turntable mean a single rotary axis? From how I am reading what you wrote, you have: X axis driven by two stepper motors Y axis driven by two stepper motors Z axis driven by ...
