I've searched through all the manuals and post on here, but I can't seem to find any information that explains what to edit to map a input to a macro.

I have a physical button that I would like to use to index a turret (M21).

I have everything working perfectly with this turret. I'll post all my files and settings for anyone else with this turret soon.

I made these changes to the m18 function.

I didn't receive any error messages this time, but turret only moved -0.2. Then it labeled that as home.

50001 is the input for the turret. It is in input 1.

Changing the stock amount to none might be the safest option. A user should probably get their revs/degree figured out first, before it starts reversing to lock in, since it isn't time based like with the DC motor turrets. As long as it is documented well, I don't think a user would mind. It would b...

Thanks Scott! That was a silly mistake.

Some turrets require to reverse to lock the turret in place. Even though perhaps not the best solution, but the idea was that the motor would reverse enough to lock and any remaining travel, the motor will "burn" through the rest of its movement. My turret has to reverse to lock in. My re...

Capture.PNG I'm setting up a mill. OUT5 is set to VFDEnable and OUT6 is set to VFDDirection. When the Acorn powers up, OUT6 is enabled. When I use M3 or M4 OUT5 enables and the spindle spins at the appropriate speed. However, neither M3 or M4 enable or disable OUT6 for the VFDDirection. I cannot fi...

Thanks for the information! That's what I needed to know about the cnctch.mac. You can pretty much copy and paste that into the manual. It would be nice to have some parameters to use as variables like with the DC motor controlled turrets. I understand this is all new. This is my 5th acorn machine. ...

what do you mean by "uninstalled" I uninstalled the program through Windows settings, and I deleted the cnct and icn_lath folders. Then installed v5.0. Please let me know if there is something more I should do. Chris, yes, I did forget to reassign axis 4 to axis A, but that didn't fix my ...

I completely uninstalled v4.82, and installed v5.0. Some things don't appear to be working correctly for the Axis Driven Turret. The main screen doesn't show the "A" axis degrees like it did before. Also the F6(ATC INT) does not show up on the Config screen. centroid_acorn_wizard_atc_setup...
