The burned component is not C1 as assumed. 'C1' is what can be seen initially. Cleaned off the 'soot' from the PCB and find that the component reference is "FB5". Removed the 24V power connector and find that iso C1, I exposed "CHASSIS". C1 is actually located next to TP2 (test p...

Capacitor C1 burned off the main acorn board. Only the stubs of the leads remain. BBG heartbeat o.k. when powered by mini USB. No heartbeat when mounted on main board. Need to know what the repair solution needs to be. This is powering a production CNC lathe - short downtime is critical. 20220130_11...

4 AXIS CNC WOOD LATHE Operational build completed. Schematics, report, settings screen captures and photos attached. Electronics design & build by yours truly (many thanks to martyscncgarage for help to correct errors). Mechanics design & build by Ivan Samila. Video, machine in operation, ma...

Changed to 1600 steps per rev. - jogging and max rate needed changing as well.
Motors do run smoother - Thanks for the advise!
Changed axis config screen shot attached

Build update for my CNC wood lathe Thanks again to martyscncgarage for solving problems with the initial breadboarding operation. Schematics, report, settings screen captures and photo attached. Note that on the schematic I have used RL1 to delay +5VDC. This is necessary as the Acorn board requires ...

Just wondering, since flipping the step and direction switches in Wizard advanced axis helped to make my problem go away,
would flipping the enable switches do the same for the enable input?

Just to clarify - most of the work done to solve this problem was accomplished by: martyscncgarage Don't like to take credit for work done by someone else... Steps taken for my 3 axis hybrid servo motor bench test: I am using CNC12 Lathe software, so references reflect this choice. Steps do not incl...

Just one last item to close this post as "RESOLVED" Many thanks to those who helped, especially Martyscncgarage who made it work! Components used: Centroid Acorn controller (171025) KL-80882H drivers, KL34-8N-1000 motors Automation Technologies dual output 72VDC power supply +5VDC power su...

You can probably see me, all the way from AZ, grinning from ear to ear! Jog worked perfectly, so I took a small leap and ran my test program - also worked perfectly! Your help has been appreciated more than you could imagine!! Can't wait to start putting it all together. Now I need to decide on what...

I did previously do the connections as you instructed and results as follows: Motor + encoder (alarm & enable not connected) with only 72V motor power connected, Acorn not connected - motors holding o.k. Added +5.0VDC (corrected from +5.6VDC) to encoder and step/dir - motors, then powering up +7...
