Those codes look great. And I see you say, "Proposed Approach." I would only assume that is the future for AcornSIx because as now those M codes are not listed in the CNC12 Manual. But can't you create those codes with the current version of CNC12 in the M94 M95 commands? Is that what your...

Yes there have been suggestions of how to achieve what I'm after and I've even said one myself. There are many ways to do it. I just had the question if Acorn 6 could do it by itself. I will have Acorn or Acorn 6 run this machine. No questions asked! Im just trying to decide if Acorn 6 is ready or i...

On a side note...Uwe I watched your video's and I'm impressed! This machine will have C-axis very similar to yours.

Well, Which is it? It sounds to me that it doesn't do what i need it to do straight out of the box if it doesn't have separate/independent analog control of the 2 outputs. Does it have independent control of the analog outputs including on the control screen?? I guess part of that would be to have a...

So I'm still not clear on this. Can the Acorn six operate 2 spindles the way I need it to?

Yes many ways to get this done but I still don't have a clear answer about Acorn 6. Will it operate my second motor?

Yes I guess your right tblough. I was just so stuck on doing it all from the control and would still like to do that but if I can't... I have your idea. They even have remote controls for some VFD i could keep at the control for O/I and changing speeds. Thanks for your reply!

Im building a machine similar to a gun drill. It will have a main spindle (#1) and a counter rotating second spindle (#2) on the other end. All I need #2 spindle to do is turn on and hold a programmed RPM. Which will be different than the main spindle. It's pretty simple.

Will it work two separate motors in Beta? Or will I have to wait until full version is out? I'll just be turning on the second motor and setting a speed. I know I could do this cheaper with control outside of Acorn but I would rather not.

Thats great. This is very exciting! I just keep getting amazed by what Centroid is doing. Is there a screen shot of the control showing both spindle controls?
