Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?

I'm mot sure if the 100 ohm resistors for enable, & step and direction signals are required on the Acornsix for the Clearpath steppers which are required on the Acorn. I I used a small breadboard I had lying around to mount the resistors to just to make the install a little easier. My experience...

Re: USB Switch

If you have an older desktop PC around you can try TrueNAS, it's free and works great as a shared network storage solution. Problem I found with off the shelf NAS is support after production ends.

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

yeah if you bail mid homing cycle you can sometimes interrupt the cycle while the axes are un paired. there is a command that re-pairs them after it is square'd up in the home program...so, if you cancel out after it un-pairs but before it re-pairs then the machine is left in the un-paired state. a...

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

Chris, I haven't run into this issue with G30 until this release. I did not set Z value at 20.8099, this is being written by the Wizard. My max Z travel is set to 14 7/8". 20.8099 is my machine Y value for the touch plate. Can you help identify where the 20.8099 Z value is being generated? The ...

Re: homing travels in wrong direction

I know you are getting frustrated but maybe it's time just to start from scratch with your settings. Break it into sections and get each section working correctly.

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

When I save the G30 settings to machine Z 0 then home the machine, that is when I notice the G30-Z value is being over-written with the G30 X value. If I save the G30 settings, then exit, restart CNC 12, then home, that is when I notice the over-write of G30-Z. It could also be over-written when zer...
