That's the beauty of CNC12 and it's fully customizable VCP. I was setting up a router the other day and removed those buttons as I cut aluminum and copper dry with Amana O flute bits.

Maybe one day the VCP buttons will be "drag and drop".

Remy, you need to go back to step one. Did you just wire EVERYTHING up all at once? You need to wire up ONE drive and ONE motor and get that working ON THER BENCH, not on the machine. For anyone new to Acorn it's NOT "best practice" to simply wire EVERYRTHING up and hope that it works. Wir...

No two machines will be the sane Remy. Please post a current report and the PDF of your own wizard screen shots and we can help you further. Without this info we are just guessing. Did you follow the diagram you linked to?

Just curious, why is it better to hook the driver up to the DB25 than H2 or H3 if you driver can handle 24v? Thanks. As Keith stated, steppers to the DB25 and servos to the headers. There are a "select" few steppers that can be wired to the headers but they still work better wired to the ...

Sure, no deal to make it work, but even Intercon on a router is posting M7 if Mist is selected in the tool lib. This one shortcut misusing M7 for Dust has a long rattail now. If it is changed correctly to maybe M107, lots of users will curse Centroid because they have to change something :lol: IMHO...

I just got an email from DMM with more pics and uploaded them to the Google album, link below. They machined a new aluminum magnet mount that threads into the motor shaft where the OEM encoder was. This now holds the new magnet that works with the DMM encoder that they retrofit into the Rexroth moto...

Is there a change log for RC2?

Just curious if anyone is going to IWF next month in Atlanta? There's going to be A LOT of cool stuff to look at.

I use Ruland zero backlash couplings. For the jaw (spider) couplings you buy the hubs and spiders separately or you can build a "bundle" by selecting the two hubs and spider durometer you need and it'll come as one part. This is great if you are coupling two different size shafts. You can ...

Hi Steve, there are a few others using this drive/motor combo. If you do a search in the search box in the upper right of the screen you'll see a post with a link to the schematic you can download. You'll need a DB25 breakout board as these wire to the DB25 on the Acorn. Here's the link for you, goo...
