Re: Erratic servo behavior on Yaskawa Sigma I with OAK - 410 position error

Thanks for the reply- Would love to but I am not finding any way to do a factory reset on a Sigma 1 drive... Easily findable for Sigma 2+, of course!

Erratic servo behavior on Yaskawa Sigma I with OAK - 410 position error

Hi all, Retrofitting a 1999 Biesse Rover 15 router with Centroid OAK. Had the X,Y, & Z servos roughly working & ran some test code before moving on to the spindle connections and testing. All was PERFECT. After the spindle was operational, upon powering the servos back up and attempting to m...

Re: Controlling Acorn's axis enable signals with homing macro?

Have homing working- ended up just doing the user seeks home, with the CPs in home on enable mode, and using a relay to enable to slaved motor once homed. Working great! Just tested the repeatability of the precision hard stop homing, and it appears to be within half a thou. Only long-stroke indicat...

Re: VCP Skinning

Rough ETA on this update? Couldnt find Keith's roadmap post mentioned above. I stumbled across the skinning info in /cncm and was excited at the possibility of simulating the layout and look of the Haas NGC control on my upcoming Mini Mill retrofit, but found the C# programming to be a touch more di...

Re: Controlling Acorn's axis enable signals with homing macro?

I am using precision hard-stop on my router. Using the Cnc4PC interface board as well. Will report back with accuracy findings after trying what has been suggested here. Hopefully I'll be able to get away with just running the slave Y axis motor through a relay and having it enable after the master ...

Controlling Acorn's axis enable signals with homing macro?

In order to use clearpaths in 'home on enable' mode, I would like to be able to control the output of the drive enable pins with a homing macro. Couldnt find anything mentioning this in the manual, the PLC, or searching these forums. My other option is running the enables through relays but I'd rath...

Hello! First post- i'm using Acorn for my gantry mill/'heavy router' build, and have encountered a problem with code when loaded into Centroid. Same problem whether I use code posted from Fusion 360, or load the incuded demo files. See attached pic- it seems that some of the lines are being loaded i...
