I think Terry is confusing what appears in the Program List when he clicks Windows Start. They are 2 separate Programs but CNC12 when started will automatically start the VCP. If this is not the case, please post a current REPORT.ZIP that Shawn has already requested above. This contains detailed inf...

If I understand your request and ignoring the DXF part, this needs just one main Intercon command with a choice of 2 - Either Bore Array or Drill Array. Assuming your 105 holes are split 7 rows in Y Axis and 15 rows on X axis, you enter Bore or Drill Array and enter increments of nn inches (or mm) f...

Is it possible that this issue has crept back in? I am not able to get TT or probing to work as it used to, and it seems to be acting similar the the linked post. Parameter 404 is set, but it makes no difference this time. Auto Z to plate does not stop upon touch. The input for TT does trip in the ...

Richard, pending your "crossed fingers" it might be worthwhile reviewing the thread on my router where Marc Leonard helped me enormously from start to a very satisfactory finish

The attached is the snubber circuit that I am currently using that was suggested by Uwe. This is wired across the analog output on the Acorn board.
Are you suggesting that I replace this with just the .1uf capacitor?

Yes, that's how I have my system but ensure the cap is ceramic

No, the 0.1 UF ceramic cap needs to be fitted between Acorn's analog Vout and Com terminals. It assisted me in bringing RPM under proper control and many other folk in stabilising their analog output. You normally don't need anything else other than proper shielded wiring best practice throughout

we are on stand by.

Keith, you are beginning to sound like the Control Tower at Shawn's airfield where he keeps his F16

You didn't mention air blast in your original post and I did mention "and/or Vac for evac". No matter, if you wish to ignore best practice that's your choice of course. For finish cuts in Intercon, suggest your refer to the Mill manual chapter 10 and the section on Sub Programs, specifical...

Checkout fog buster by Noga which can be used used in air blast only and/or use vac for evac. No offence but allowing any machining of chips will damage or break you bit perhaps sooner than later with disastrous consequences

Disconnect wires from both Vout and COM analog terminals on Acorn and measure voltage on those terminals when manually commanding 1750 rpm. Does this produce 5vdc

Did you clean up wiring as we suggested in your other thread?

And PLEASE, post a new and current Report.zip
