Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I found the perfect CNCPC for use with centroid and it was so cheap that I had little faith that it would be up to the task....but it passes all the PC Tuner tests and works flawlessly with my Acorn board with plenty of horsepower to spare. This $159.00 PC has TWO physlical ethernet ports, Intel ...

M3 is never to be found in G-code for laser work via PWM (at least my G-code never uses it). As I use my lasers (Opt) I just enable the laser with M37 and control PWM output via S-levels (S000 to S999). M38 turns the laser off.
Yes, Output 2 is assigned PWM Output and the PWM output comes via the ...

Anyone?

I have CNC12 pro routher edition with Acorn board, and my machine has both a VFD (0-10v) router spindle and a deployable PWM diode laser. Spindle works fine, but when I try to Activate the laser with the M37 macro, it hangs up at the end when the "spindle is turned on and speed set to 0" with the M3 ...

Hello,
I'm a noob setting up CHIPS on my latest CNC12 Router Pro edition for my 60x96 shopbot PRS Alpha with 16 tool ATC (fork style) and is running on an Acorn controller. My machine also has a pneumatically deployable diode laser and a pneumatically deployable tangential cutter knife on the Z axis ...

OMG. That makes so much sense and I knew it was going to be something very obvious in hindsight. Ahhhhh learning curves. Now that I have started to look over the plc source file, things are becoming so much clearer! Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction!

I'm a noob and am really stumped trying to figure out why I cannot control my outputs like it is stated in the documentation. I have an Acorn board with an ETH1616 I/O expander board giving me 24 inputs and 24 outputs. I am so stumped. Here is an example of my situation:

I have IN/OUT 1-8 on Acorn ...
