Re: Acorn CNC12 Mill, Router, and Lathe v4.64 has been released!

I must be making a silly rookie mistake while doing the 4.5 -> 4.6 Lathe update. Following https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/downloads/acorn_documentation/acorn_cnc12_v4.6_install_instructions.pdf. Page 2, top of page 3. My attempts to restore the saved report always require a power down and ...

Grizzly Sidewinder Wood Lathe

Found some training wheels and made an effort to learn how to ride the iMovie bicycle. Pretty shaky ride, but here's a video of my shiny new Sidewinder woodturning lathe. Failed to mention it in this amazing video, but there's an Acorn controller in use there. Credit for build goes to Gary Campbell:...

Re: Windows hangs on boot if pendant usb antenna plugged in

Well, thanks again Marty. There's definitely something buggy someplace here. Everything, pendant included, is working now, but 10 minutes ago the Ethernet communications to the Acorn were failing. And the recent usb pendant weirdness. Grumble. I'll try checking PC drivers 'n such. Could be something...

Re: Windows hangs on boot if pendant usb antenna plugged in

Well. That worked. Windows now boots with the pendant usb thing plugged in. Thank you. So.... the issue that lead to this leap down the rabbit hole is that the pendant is not being recognized. This is on a system that has had a working pendant for 2+ months. To debug this issue I have 1) replaced ba...

Re: Windows hangs on boot if pendant usb antenna plugged in

Ah, apologies, my description was poor. Windows starts to come up so the correct boot device is selected. Looks like software specific to the pendant usb device hangs. I unplug the pendant usb "thing" (radio?) and Windows comes up and Acorn will run (without the pendant, of course). thanks...

Re: Pendant only works in x1

Well, Keith, I just picked up the machine a couple weeks ago and can't really answer the 'how did you update' question. Gary Campbell built my new Grizzly wood lathe so he may be able to comment on the specific steps used to do the last update. The pendant was working correctly until a couple days a...

Pendant only works in x1 (Resolved)

Starting new thread since the 'After update to V4.14 MPG not working correctly' thread has too much unrelated history and is reported on an earlier software version. Thanks for the patience cnckeith. Problem: the pendant wheel only works in x1 mode, not in x10 or x100. All other pendant features wor...
