Re: Manual for CNC12 ver 4.14 list of effected pages
Thanks again for all the updates Keith. There's nothing better than a well documented product and I think Centroid does a great job with this. I love the DWG diagrams you provide, I can then modify those to mimic my machine and wiring for troubleshooting. Although since I converted to the Acorn I ha...

Re: Manual for CNC12 ver 4.14 list of effected pages
Aviation companies also charge exorbitant prices to cover all those little niceties. The Acorn is priced for the DIY community. Some things you have to DIY ;) Thanks Tom and I understand how aviation companies format their manuals, I'm a pilot and aircraft owner myself, but all the aviation compani...

Re: Manual for CNC12 ver 4.14 list of effected pages
Another thing I'd like to see that other manuals have is a version number, release date and/or revision number on the cover page. This way at a quick glance you know if you have the latest version. Centroid is always after us to use the latest version of everything, how can we be sure? :mrgreen: The...

Re: Acorn not communicating
Did you try another cable so you can eliminate that as the issue? Then walk through the settings again one by one, walk away from the PC, take a break, then come back, you might just be overlooking something very simple.

Re: Tool Setting Options For Routers and Mills
I'm using Clint's modified M6 version that I modified a bit more and it's working great with 4.18. Thanks again Clint for all your help. Shawn I know this is old, but did you have to tweak anything to get it to work for 4.18? It was working fine for 4.14, but now sets Z a bit high. I can likely fig...

Re: Pro license
Yeah I just got it first thing this morning. Wouldn't hurt for it to be noted that if buying on weekend you will get it the following Monday. I assume it lists their business hours on the Centroid website? I haven't looked but I'm sure they are closed on weekends and the reason you didn't receive a...

Re: Pro license
I got mine the same day from Nancy I believe and yes, during the week. I was told they are working on an automated system for this process but I still got my license the same day I paid for it.

Re: Phoenix Magnum 2'x2' CNC Router Upgrade
I have a Blue Elephant 6090 CNC with a 3kw water cooled spindle, Fuling VFD and NEMA 34 steppers all ran beautifully with the Acorn. I have some parts to cut today or tomorrow and will post a pic. Here's a link to the machine, I bought it used off CL. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32946517667.html...

Re: Phoenix Magnum 2'x2' CNC Router Upgrade
Yes, great job Marty. Thanks for the great videos. I greatly enjoyed retrofitting my chinese machine with the Acorn. Closed loop steppers are the next upgrade. :mrgreen: Glad you got something out of them. Sorry they aren't as formal, but some content is better than no content! :) Closed loop hybri...
