Quickie video on how to generate a report to back up your parameters and system settings and to provide it to Centroid Support when requested.
Note: With Acorn you can only "restore report" on the same version of CNC12.

My control box is compatible with the "Legacy" configuration. This hardware and cable worked with Mach3 so assumed still good. This document describes my hardware except that the jumper between pins 8 and 17 in the DB25 was removed. Of course, I'm running a new PC and new software. http:/...

Rick,
You might want to move this thread UP, I know its hard to see, but there is quite a bit of discussion on Acorn, click on Centroid Acorn CNC Controller at the very top of the main page.

Reminder, there is a very helpful screen in the Centroid software that lets you check the status of the Inputs and Outputs. Useful during setup and testing of your machine. From the main software screen, press ALT-I You will see the diagnostic screen with "LED"s. The ones you are intereste...

Hey guys, i am fairly deep inyo my build. Will I be able to u...

....and 5VDC will feed the Leadshine clone. Hi Marty; is that a "Longs Motor" drive you're referring to? I have 3 DM542's & they seem to work OK & the price was good. Hope they last OK. I ordered one of these closed loop NEMA 23 motor/drives from Automation Technologies to test ou...

I was going to buy a touchscreen monitor but looking at the specs on my "shop" PC, I found that I needed to update the PC as well. As I was looking around I saw the Dell Inspiron 3263 All-In-One Computer was on sale for $480 so I decided to go that way and picked up one yesterday. It has ...

Agreed. In fact I ordered a power supply for my next project for this very reason (and thank you for posting it Orin), the combo Meanwell 24VDC/5VDC power supply was less than $20 shipped to my door from JAMECO. Not worth bothering with resistors. I will have one power supply for logic, 24VDC will f...
