Go to the LAN adapters mfgr website and update the driver(s)

I agree. As someone who runs multiple acorns the only thing i would prefer is if they included 1-2 hours of centroid tech support with the purchase. The forum based support is ok for most things but not ideal for digging into the weeds, something like this. They do, just not on the same page as the...

Yes, Oriental's docs are thorough, if not close to overwhelming! If you can simply reset to factory defaults, they will work just fine with most controllers. If you do succeed, there may be a cottage industry there for you!

Agreed. One of the "Door Safety" input designations should work the way you want. In my travels as a SB service tech that key switch with the spindle wrench attached was the second most requested safety feature to remove. In first place was the 2 second "Ooo-Aah, Ooo-Aah, Ooo Aah"...

However, it seems to me that overall it should be more practical with the 2020 hardware since the motor/driver issues you mentioned have presumably been addressed. You may have missed the line where I stated that the more modern drive (AR) ...

A couple questions before I answer, if I may.... 3.1:1 is not a common reduction ratio, how did you arrive at that number? Your numbers are accurate, but only at full steps, are you running a stepper at full steps? If so, why? And the reason behind my questions is shown in the chart below. Using 1/8...
