Gotcha,

Clean install is easy, just wanted to make sure the board didn't need to see any other versions before the current one as it updated firmware etc.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Hopefully this should be an easy to answer question. I currently have a mill with a rev4 acorn running 4.64. Would I need to update in steps or is it ok to jump straight to 5.1? I have quite a few custom macros so I know those will need to be brought over manually. Thanks in advance!

No problem. I am just interested in the discussed combination potentially for future use and found this thread. There are not many hits in this forum when searching for TT2. My interest was piqued when you seemed to be stumped by following the available documentation and Marc said all of your ...

I'm running 3 CL57Y drives from stepper online with 24v off the screw terminals. They have been running great for over a year.

I have found that I will get resend errors if my acorn control box is powered on before my PC. If windows is up and running, and then acorn is started the error log stays perfect. I'm not sure if it has something to do with windows drivers or the acorn reaching out via Ethernet on startup but that ...

Replaying to ridekp first.

Negative tool diameter

In your post I did not see what version of CNC12 Acorn you are running or if you are in imperial (inches) or Metric? Please post a Report. I tested with Acorn V4.60 in inches and you are able to use a negative number. I put a small number in and ...

So now I'm thinking I must be crazy! I just fired up the machine again and I can now enter negative diameter values. I was hoping to grab a screen shot of the error and it worked as I expected it to originally. I wasn't able to run the part again but maybe the first time I tried there was some ...
