Yes please. A report with the M6 & M19 macros for an air actuated shot pin orient would be super helpful. I'm trying to accomplish the same thing right now.

Thats great information, I'm going to pass on the C86 and wire straight to Acornsix. Thank you so much!

I see. I'm fine with terminating flying leads to the acorn as I've made my own cables. Is the Molex connectors the main advantage of the board? Could all the HLFB's be tied to one input without the C86?

Does anyone have any experience with the C86ACCP6 connecting Hybrid steppers? It seems like it would work as the Steppers have the same inputs as the clearpaths,8 connections in all: Step+/-, Dir+/-, Enable+/-, Alarm+/- Or is an additional board no longer needed to handle the HLFB from Clearpath wit...

First of all, my apologies for not seeing your reply, I was checking the wrong place. Thank you for such a prompt reply. I'm sorry, I meant the C86ACCP6, the new one designed for the Acornsix. https://cnc4pc.com/c86accp-clearpath-board-for-acornsix-6-axis.html As far as the motors, the one for the t...

I'm upgrading from Mach3 to Acornsix. I have 3 Clearpath SDSK motors that drive the XYZ axis on my mill. I'm planning to add an umbrella style tool changer and 4th & 5th axis soon. I can't afford to buy 3 more Clearpaths to drive the tool changer carousel and 4th and 5th axis and so I am hoping ...

Gixer, do the axes move using the handwheel, if you switch the increment selector to the x1 (lowest) position? I just got the acornsix and my WMPG-4 is doing just what was asked about above. The WMPG-4 will do everything like it should except when it comes time to use the handwheel to jog the axis ...

Ooooooo, I like the sound of that. I think I'm going to have to try it!

Funny you should suggest that. I was planning on doing just that but after doing some reading here on the forum it seemed like that could cause issues because the spindle wouldn't be able to differentiate between 0 and 180, seeing as how there's only one zero mark on the encoder ring but the spindle...

Howdy all. I'm getting excited about the acornsix! Trying to get all my ducks in a row before making all my purchases. I'm looking for a spindle encoder that works with acornsix that's capable of 8000 rpms... that won't break the bank. Seems like 6000 rpm encoders are plentiful but above that they s...
