Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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...

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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...

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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...

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

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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?

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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!

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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.

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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.

Re: 2 Spindles AcornSix
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?
