Resolved..... For some reason the Ethernet thought it was connecting to CNC12 Mill. So I changed Ethernet setting to a totally different one. Rebooted. Then restarted and then changed to the correct Ethernet. When I tried to load Lathe Acorn it reinstalled the lathe software.

Whew......

I am using the same computer for both Acorn boards for a couple months. I physically move the computer from one machine to the other and the Ethernet connections are never connected at the same time. So this morning I moved the computer to the lathe and turned it on. The CNC12 mill automatically sta...

I will post a pictures here in a few. LoL, I'm sure you will get a laugh of how the machine has evolved over the years...... I don't want to talk bad about Mach because it served me for a good ten years but now that Acorn is up and running I cannot believe the difference. During this time down time ...

Here is the picture. It came when I originally bought the DG4S drivers 3 to 4 years ago.

Problem found...... First I want to think everyone for posting and helping👍. Marty, next time I think I have a better understanding how to communicate or at least show the things you need to see to help in the future. (Hope not not needed but probably will 😁) The 3C4DG interface card make for the DG...

I will do a better job with the up coming replies. Great job on videos btw.

Tried both, doesn't matter. I haven't been this frustrated in years. I have checked everything over and over... really only three control wires between the drive and Acorn. There is no way all 4 drives went out when all worked before pulling the other controller card. Using a bolt voltmeter set on m...

Just curious, are you powering the control side of your DG4S with 12volts or 5 volts?

Thank you for the reply. The DG4S drives are in correct state as you listed above in your comment number 1. No red light, green blinking, motors holding in place without any connections to Acorn. As you mentioned, no connection on pin 5 or 6 either. Yes I used the USB interface and got them configur...
