Re: DMM/Acorn/Taig Build Thread

Meh, no worries if you're asking a question about my build, as technically this is my build thread. Just haven't had time to finish some things or update due to another back surgery.

Re: DMM/Acorn/Taig Build Thread

It would be good if you posted the details, DMMDRV screenshot, what wiring diagram you used, screen shots of your CNC12 input and output screens. They would be of great help to other users doing the same thing. Thank you Marty Sure thing. I'm just having a little trouble as I have just built a new ...

Re: Acorn Ribbon Cable Output Connection

That terminal connector would be nice, but I've already bought pins and connectors to just make up my own cable. That spec manual is the same as I linked to in my first post. They really should update the parts I highlighted if it's indeed no longer correct.

Re: Acorn Ribbon Cable Output Connection

Excellent, much appreciated. That makes things so much easier. I'd already bought a connector and pins before realizing the new relay board operated at 5v.

Thanks

Acorn Ribbon Cable Output Connection

For space reasons, I cannot use the current rev Acorn's relay output board and instead have slim DIN relays (24v coil, 7ma). They were already incorporated into my setup when I changed directions and swapped to Acorn. So I've searched the forum and found a few references in the Acorn spec manual, bu...

Re: DMM/Acorn/Taig Build Thread

Here's a quick video I got from a buddy of the rigid tapping with the DMM DYN4 / 1KW 86mm frame motor. He's also using the built in encoder on the DYN4 to pass through the signal. Which is why I asked him to chase the threads. This was a few weeks back when he was testing using this method. He is us...

Re: C-Axis Homing to Spindle Encoder Pulse

Apologies from the start for not having time to read through the entire post, but couple of quick points since this is very similar to what I'm setting up. - DMM does have a special firmware to allow swapping from speed mode to analog mode via gcode on the fly 1) This firmware uses different pins ve...

Re: DMM/Acorn/Taig Build Thread

Someone needs to do a video and explain the setup and tuning process. I do want to see the Screen shots from their respective systems. It shouldn't be that different. The spindle is turning in bearings, not like the friction of slideways. Only difference is mass of the spindle. Thanks for leading t...

Re: DMM/Acorn/Taig Build Thread

I tried DLing it from the FB group, but doesn't let me. If nothing else, I'll see if he still has a copy of the vid files and I can upload it to my channel on Youtube. Completely forgot about another buddy with the same setup on the Taig 5C lathe doing rigid tapping. Same deal, his vids are only in ...
