Update - I downloaded the CNC12 5.1 RC6 file and was able to get the 5.1 RC6 to install. Not certain what occurred with the file downloaded from Centroidcnc.com-->Support-->downloads.

I attempted to update my CNC12 to v5.1 which I downloaded from the Centroidcnc.com website today. I did a clean install of 5.1, and was having some configuration issues and tried to roll back to 5.04. I did something incorrectly renaming folders to cncm and ended up copying 4.65v8 Beta to the cncm f...

Personally I would test with a different 5VDC source than the BOB to see what the current draw is and see if it is within the parameters in the manual. You don't want to release the ozone or smoke from BOB.

There are lots of joysticks for two axis moving, like in any RC control, or here is an example of a profile measuring machine in my job. But these are analogue, more throw, more speed, or in RC controls more travel speed depending on what is controlled. Uwe Uwe, I already asked about analog joystic...

you'll find once you get the machine configured and running you never look at the heartbeat again. Jep, turn on and make parts. I usually do not bother with heartbeat, ever though I am testing lots of beta software :lol: Uwe Only time I need to look at the heartbeat is when installing fresh install...

By the schematic you have provided, they say to connect LED to source voltage. You could always add in a low value resistor - maybe 100 ohms in series.

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...

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. After two NAS systems which weren't able to be supported to my satisfaction after production ended, I s...
