A few points

ClearPath motors will not "free wheel" until power is removed or ENA signal is de-asserted.

CP's will free wheel in fault mode as well

ughh going thru this all now. I just rec'd the ThinkCentre M93P and attempted to use the Touchscreen 15.6" INNOCN and cant get the m93p to drive it via USB.

Im looking into getting the Acorn controller for my mill. I have ASD-B2-0421-B ECMA-C20604RS motors/drivers, the Acorn states compatibility with Delta ASDA-A2. Are the ASD-B2 compatible with the Acorn?

Thanks Wayne
