Re: What coolant for water cooled HY spindle?

I use Dexcool which is designed for aluminum engines and other metals. Color is orange to red so looks great in clear tubing.

Intercon offline installer flagged by Norton Anti Virus

Norton identified threat as "Heur.AdvML.B" and won't let me install. Is there an older version of Intercon offline that can be downloded?

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!

This scale input for position correction is really interesting so can more info about it be posted? Like how often/when this correction is applied and would it work for more than 3 axis (ie, when the additional axis support is out). Also, I'm confused with this note about "lifetime licenses&quo...

Re: Connect a Lichuan LCDA357H driver to Acorn CNC

I have the LCDA357H connected to the header (not the DB25) and works fine. This is on a very early Acorn board so not sure if later boards have a limitation.

Re: upgrade to v4.5 and VCP error on CNC 12 exit

Just want to update that no more VCP error on CNC12 exit after I switched the CNC PC to one of these Lenovo M90n minis running Windows 10 rel 1909. This PC is small and should fit in a VESA style monitor mount. https://www.lenovo.com/medias/lenovo-desktop-thinkcentre-m930n-hero.png?context=bWFzdGVyf...

Re: KP-3 LED does not light up

The H4 connection definitely has 24v as it's powering all the inputs (as noted by cncsnw).

Re: KP-3 LED does not light up

Hi Swissi, The Tool Touch and KP-3 probe are both using Input 7 as the triggered input (each has it's own Detect input, 4 for the KP-3 and 6 for Tool touch). Since there is no option in the Wizard for picking shared trigger, I just picked one. Both devices are NC and open on trigger. The Tool Touch ...

Re: upgrade to v4.5 and VCP error on CNC 12 exit

The VCP error pop up happens every time on CNC 12 exit. The PC has no internet access so no Windows 10 updates for 12+ months. Should I try updating Windows 10? Thanks
