Re: 5vdc to 8 Relay Output Board - How?

I have the earlier 8 relay board, connected to an Acorn Rev-2. To get 5vdc to the relay board, I used a LM2596 converter to lower the 24vdc to 5vdc.

Re: CNC4PC C86ACCP for ClearPath SDSK servos

What is the voltage the C86ACCP gives to the drivers 24V or 5V?

Re: All the buttons from the VCP with a small bevel

Hi Keith, I am sorry but I cannot send a report. At this moment I am rebuilding my control cabinet, to connect my new spindle motor + VFD and the Ether1616 board, everything is disconnected. I also did not create a custom VCP (yet). While waiting for new components to arrive, for the control cabinet...

All the buttons from the VCP with a small bevel

I added a bevel to all the icons of the VCP, for who is interested: attached the zip file with all the icons. I also included the png files I used to change the icons. If you like them you free to use them, if you do not like them, use the origional or your own icons.

Hi Swissi,

It looks like you can read my mind, I was just about to ask for a G30 P4 at the end of a job :)

Thanks for the latest version.

Kind regards,
Fred.

Re: Fusion 360 Mill Post Processor for Acorn with additional Features

Hi Swissi, Thanks for the additional features, very handy. There is still one minor thing I do not like about the Centroid post processor: the program name of the gcode file must be a number, while Centroid can handle 'normal filenames'. It would be very nice, if I can type alphanumerical characters...
