Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Google drive has been a good solution for me. I just download the app on all my CNCPC's and pc's i do cam on. By default it only stores files in the cloud so i set them to store locally. I store all my .nc ,backup and post processors there.

This is really good for me since i like to do my cad/cam ...

I'm hung up on a few details:

1 Estop circuit.
The current estop works by cutting power to the spindle and stepper drive and i presume the coolant pump as well. All the G540 schematics i've looked at show the estop cutting the enable signal. I've considered using this method however the spindle ...

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.

I think i managed to brick my acorn. I have CNC12 set to start on login. I fired up the pc and logged in with remote desktop to the other user account. When i went back to the pc and logged into the account with cnc12 installed, CNC12 was up with communication errors. I'm not sure exactly what ...

I wanted to verify the G540 Was working before moving forward. I used Pete Rondeau's turn ratio settings from his youtube video. Here are a few Tik Tok videos of the first moves with the mill.

I'll let it go for less without the transformer and contactors.

I got a little bit accomplished on the mill. The CPU is an I3 6100 Which scores 2180 on single thread performance. I opted to move forward using that pc. The empire of dirt provided 16GB of ram, an SSD and an intel Dual nic. I had done a windows 10 upgrade from windows 7 on the original HDD. I let ...

Do you have separate pumps for Flood and Mist? I'm not familiar with how coolant systems are typically set up but looking at Acorn Wizard PLC seems to imply separate pumps or a way to divert coolant to one or both. Depending on your setup, it might make sense to use additional external relays to ...

I spent a little time and made an Input/Output list. Some things which i left blank i can't find a canned input or output for, such as the e-stop signal shown on S14979.DWG and Coolant Low. I hate fan noise so I'd like to shut off any fans that aren't actively cooling something. I found a spindle ...
