Ah ha, thanks. I have plenty of 24v lighted switches and pushbuttons I have just never seen and industrial switch/pushbutton with a 5v LED. I buy Factorymation switches and have not seen a 5V LED for their lamp blocks on their website. I do have accounts with Digikey and Mouser but Factorymation has...

Can anyone recommend a supplier of industrial, lighted switches that have 5V LED's in them? I'm not talking about $3 switches from Amazon either. My supplier that I use for all my industrial switches only has 24v DC and then AC lighted switches. I think they might carry 12v also but I've not seen an...

With 4.82 (and other previous versions) if the automatic axis pairing and squaring failed during the process the software would leave the travel limits at zero. This was because the software would have to set them to zero to preform the process of squaring the table. Once the axis pairing and squari...

Terry, please post a current report from your machine so we can see your settings. We need A LOT more info to be able to help you. What kind of drives? Power supply? What wiring diagram did you follow? What is you screen resolution set to? Pics of the control panel, etc. Please see this post for wha...

Please post a CURRENT report from the machine and it would be helpful to know what Clearpath motor you have. Is it sized for the load you are lifting? Does the Autotune in the MSP software complete with no errors? We'd need much more info to be able to troubleshoot this with you.

Also...the motors are rated for 24v maximum. So, I am sticking with the 24v max. on the drivers. I am still reading about the motors (no clue as of now why they chose these since I cannot find anything related to them) so I can make a better informed decision on keeping them or scrapping them. Seth...

I don't know anything about Gecko drives but with other stepper drives I used in my past life I always used the highest allowable voltage power supply that the drive can take with just a tiny bit of headroom. This will give you the best torque and speed from the motors. If it's a48 volt drive and yo...

I also just noticed you are using and old version. There's no need to "nuke" it. Just print your wizard pages when in the wizard, CTRL-P for your backup, rename or delete the current cncm directory and reinstall the newest version. If you have time to kill then sure, nuke it, but it's a wa...

There's no bug. The software is designed to only allow 1X movement when it thinks the probe is tripped. Did you invert any of your inputs by mistake? Go into the Alt-i screen and look for a line over the inputs you have set up for the probe. This is outlined in the Acorn Probe Setup manual. Do you h...

Yup, you'll just have to tweak the profile settings for your plasma cutter. I've even tweaked the profile settings and I'm using a Hypertherm plasma. No two machines will cut the same so it's trial and error as you go. Once you get it dialed in it'll be smooth sailing. Watching it cut up hill is coo...
