Re: Limit alarms when trying to home
It's probably not setup correctly. Please post a current report from the machine so we can see how it's setup.

Re: ethernet communication errors...wits end
Have a look at your error report, it's no wonder nothing works. Here's a sample of your error log below. Dive into tech bulletin 270 and 309 and find out where your noise is coming from. Post pics of your cabinet wiring. Are you using shielded wire where it's recommended/required? (4) 05-04-2024 12:...

Re: Tool Change Macro Help
As noted by the other responses, if you want "hand holding" it costs money. I for one would not want to see an additional $240 added to he price of my Acorn when ANY answer you could possibly want can be found here for free. The info and knowledge on this forum is second to none when it co...

Re: Tool Change Macro Help
..... Centroid is not very helpful in getting one "up and running" in this regard. Its up to the customer to sift through long and complicated manuals and ultimately trial and error. Centroid could not possibly include a generic M6 for what you want to do. Why? Because no two machines wil...

Re: Tool touch off and probe help needed
Thanks Nigel. I enlarged the pic he sent and I clearly see a DM-542 drive which takes up to 50VDC. The other drive I cannot quite make out looks to be a DM860T (I see the last 3 letters/numbers in the part number being 60T) which takes up to 80 VDC. The amazon links show totally different drives so ...

Re: Controller-only (not motors/drivers) upgrade for PRS Alpha
Well then, I have the perfect controller for you and it costs $1,000,000. How many do you want?ReactiveLight wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 4:47 pm Yes, I have the manuals. I would prefer to buy a controller with sufficient hardware channels for my purpose, and the cost is not really important.

Re: Tool touch off and probe help needed
Ok I did the recommended steps for the stepper drivers and set them all to 3200 steps, does this look right for my configuration? I dialed it all in and this is what I got for the revs per inch. Not sure if it's correct but my machine travel ispretty much spot on with these settings Please triple c...

Re: AcornSix issues
At what point going backwards do the Acorn Six boards need a firmware update for this? Can you share a date or serial number where the boards need a firmware update? Thanks.
