Figures.... Got in a hurry and overlooked this page of document . ...
Dont know how these 2 outputs got set with the white line, but that was the issue. They work as they should now.
Thanks guys.

Since the work light output is part of my machine enable circuit, i assigned Flood coolant to Ether1616 output 33 or 34. When clicking the Flood button on the VCP nothing happens, also the led indicator for the Flood VCP button does not turn on. All the other Ether1616 outputs work fine when testing...

When forcing inputs on the diagnostics screen by using <CTRL>, <ALT> and <f> button press , the led on relay board and relay work as they should.

Did some further testing using M94M95111. It appears that only Output 33 and 34 wont work unless forcing from the Diagnostics screen. Is this by design?

Hello, Iam trying to use the outputs of my Ether1616 board with Acorn and can not get any of them to work. Using the wizard i tried assigning an "OUTPUT1" to output 33 and did an mdi of M61 and also M94/61 but the led and relay does nothing. Also tried assigning a Custom Output of M94M9511...

I found making the turret reverse doesn't make it much faster. I'd like to see your code when you're done. Mine is a little buggy sometimes. I copied some code from another persons macro. Have only done some bench testing.Macro works, but not exactly what i want. Issue i have now is that a tool cha...

Ok...found it.
I needed to change the cnctch.mac file. Changed this .....
G53 A[#102 + 0.5]
G53 A[#102 - 0.5]

to this...

G53 A[#102]

Now i need macro to reverse the turret when a tool is closer, like from tool 1 to tool 8.

Iam now working on the tool turret for my lathe now. Also attached is my Report file. Using a hybrid stepper motor from Automation Technologies Inc. Turret is Bi-Directional. Uses hydraulics to move turret off of locking ring gear. See pics. I have followed the instructions for Acorn CNC12 v4.6 ATC ...

I too was having the RPM fluctuation on my lathe using a Teco A510 for a 5hp spindle motor. Tried adjusting the VFD Time Filter and also had to adjust the Bias setting in VFD to -2. This did help a lot but RPM was not accurate ,sometimes would be stable then drop about 100 rpms and would be off abou...

...CNC12 will drop the NoFault output when it closes, when it detects a fault or you hit the Estop button. This is what i dont want it to do. As i stated before i need the main machine contactor/relay to stay on when an estop condition happens. But, been rethinking this whole machine power enabling...
