Has anyone created DIN compatible mounts for the acorn board and THC boards? I would prefer not having to screw them to cabinet if possible

I am getting ready wire up my control box, I have seen some of the pictures in the manual that has a circuit breaker inside the cabinet. I have a 1200W torodial power supply and 3 other smaller power supplies. My original plan was to have a 20amp circuit in my garage power everything inside the cabi...

I was looking thru the documentation and it mentioned NOT to use a bulkhead connector for the ethernet connection. My CNC PC will be external to my control box and will require a connection thru the wall of the box. Can I use a shielded ethernet bulkhead connector and a short piece of shielded ether...

I assume I can use EN4 for the 4th axis. What pins in the DB9 connector would be used? Looks like 8 (step 4) and 9 (direction 4) I was thinking of putting X on output 1, Y1 on Output 2, Y2 on output 3 and Z on output 4 I assume there is a way to slave Y1 and Y2 together so they run together. Would I...

I am building my new table that will be using NEMA34 closed loop motors on the X, Y, Y1 motors. For the Z axis I have a NEMA 17 size open loop stepper motor that I will likely use a TB6600 stepper driver for. The NEMA34 motors use 60vdc and 6amp. The NEMA17 uses 24v and 2amp. Is there a schematic I ...

That was very helpful!! I was able to confirm that the THC bench test was successful. Follow up question: Is there a step as part of the set up I will be going thru that would direct me to configure the inputs and outputs properly? I assume that these steps are going to be tied to the specific schem...

Can you post a picture of where that is? I did not see any setting that looked like that

I just got my acorn over Christmas and trying to do the THC bench test. The acorn bench test appears to have worked. I have verified that my power supply is powering the TX board. and that I have 5 v going to the ANL V port. There is only 1 small LED on the TX board lit up. Any thoughts on what I mi...

I am having the same issue. I am new to Acorn - where is the TorchOn button that was referred to? I tried clicking the Torch On button in the UI but it didnt do anything for me. I have verified the power supply is outputting 5v. Is there a referred current to use ?
