Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

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:...

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...

..... 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...

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 ...

Im using 2 24 volt psu's, one for each nema 23 and a 48 for the nema 34 it was recommended somewhere can't remember where. If you're right I will be getting 2 more 48 volts. Also, I did triple check the drivers are all set correctly to 3200, that picture was from the previous day when the steps wer...

Well then, I have the perfect controller for you and it costs $1,000,000. How many do you want?

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...

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.

OK, seeing what drives you have it's impossible to have the steps per rev you have set in the wizard. Set the drives and wizard to be 1600 or 3200. The values you have are incorrect. Did you come over from a Mach3 setup? Read this topic as anything else you do right now is a moot point, you have to ...

A side note here, looking at your report, I'm not sure how you came up with your steps per revolution. You have them set to 25,400 on the X and Y and 40,650 on the Z axis. Can you share how you got those numbers as those are incorrect settings for Acorn and your drives. What drives are you using? An...
