CNC12 not Homing (Resolved)
I dont know what I did but it was homing correctly. Now it doesnt say "MAchine not homed" when I start up and when I press cycle start it does nothing. I can jog it around no problem, can even run a program. But I cannot get it to home. I put an axis on a home switch and the cncm.hom is su...

Re: AXYZ 4008 with tool change carousel...need some advice
Everything went fine. Upgraded to Centroid acorn in 6 hours. Used the terminals not DB25 and it worked great. Going back tomorrow for extensive testing and trying to find a weird issue. Sometimes I cant put it in fast jog. Only slow jog. Restart CNC12 and it works in fast jog. I will look some more ...

Re: AXYZ 4008 with tool change carousel...need some advice
I'll ignore your first sarcastic statement. Your second one makes sense. Thanks. I'll check the acceptable ttl gate levels of the drive and go from there.

Re: AXYZ 4008 with tool change carousel...need some advice
I don't understand it. The docs clearly shows either way works and they even give you examples how to wire them. I dont get it, but I'll bring a db25 cable just in case though. Is there some undocumented issue with connecting step/dir to the terminals? I have done over 30 retrofits. Granted most of ...

Re: AXYZ 4008 with tool change carousel...need some advice
Not sure what you guys are getting at. I upgraded the original to linuxcnc and it worked fine.
I am upgrading to acorn and want to use single ended mode cause the drives db25 are already set for single ended mode.
Gary, not sure what you mean by that. Can you clarify?

Re: Gantry software pairing auto homing with one switch
Thanks for the response. This is good news. I purchased the pro license. I did the linuxcnc upgrade a year ago and they are not happy with the interface. Hence the acorn upgrade. Its actually quite a simple machine. Next time I will create a thread and put everything in it. I have another machine I ...

Acorn +5v => step+, dir+
Acorn step- = > step-
Acorn dir- => acorn dir-

Re: AXYZ 4008 with tool change carousel...need some advice
Thanks Marty for your response. I am the one who converted it to linuxcnc. I was just reading that people was having issues with pacific Scientific drives with Acorn. And I don't see those drives in the Acorn Wizard. I am to be converting this machine this weekend so I hope to not have to scramble t...
