Re: BORING QUESTION

You can change the "back-off" distance after a pass using F9 Options in Intercon. This will help with the interference on the backside of the boring bar.

Re: HBS860H to DB25 OR Screw terminals?

Steppers are wired to the DB25.

Re: C97 gecko g250x

Are the motor drives connected to the DB25 plug!?

Re: Understand existing Acorn Mill

I would not just assume you can remove a wire. Someone took the trouble to run that wire and attach it to an output for a reason. I would trace where the wire goes and determine its function. Most likely, the Acorn configuration is incomplete or incorrect.

Re: Hickory not recording Stats correctly

Marc, I think it's more than that. I have not updated software on that machine since it was installed and a I know I have more than 0.027 hours of program run time in the intervening year.

Wouldn't "Since" then reflect the last install date and not 00/00/0 as well?

Hickory not recording Stats correctly

I just checked the stats on my Hickory equipped lathe that's been in use for around 11 months, and it is reporting the following stats:
Power On : 000024.609
Job in Progress : 000000.027
Spindle Running : 000005.110
Since : 00/00/0

The Allin1DC mill I have that was installed at the same time is ...

Re: NEW BUILD! Chinese CNC 1313 replacing mach3

Z "down" is negative. If your machine homes with the head all the way up, you are at max Z+, so your Z+ limit is 0, and your Z- limit is your max travel. You have a Z- limit of 0, so you will not be able to lower the head from the home position without hitting your travel limit.

Re: stepper moving in one direction only

Steppers should be connected to the DB25 connector and not to the Acorn headers. The headers are for 12V servos, and not 5V logic stepper drivers. If you will tell us the brand and model numbers of your drives and steppers, we can direct you to the correct Centroid schematic to follow.
