Re: Voltage into the Acorn board

The DB25 breakout board does take up a lot of room. I purchased a DB25 connector and used that instead. Less space and cleaner in my opinion.

Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!

I actually started over. I made the background and then made each button an actual button instead of a graphic on the background. I'll post a picture when complete. It's slow going. Not being experienced in vector graphics, I had to have a friend of mine give me a crash course in it. Now I know enou...

Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!

I am working on using a background posted by Linkcnc for my mill. Everything is going well except row 6. Originally there were 3 double space buttons in row 6. I am wanting six single space buttons for home, Incr/Cont, x1, x10, x100, and MPG. I have my six buttons working. If I do anything to the 3 ...

VCP Set WCS Zero

Is it possible to have VCP buttons to set WCS x, Y, Z? I have been looking though the Operators Manual, The Macro Programming Manual and the VCP Manual and I'm not finding anything.

CNC12 Settings

New to CNC12 mill, I did search here as well as in the manual.

Is there a way to only have 3 digits shown behind the decimal in the dro?

Is there an indication on the display to show whether absolute or incremental positioning is in use?

PM-25MV Build

I have my cnc control cabinet complete for my PM-25MV. I used an old HP pc cabinet. I cut out most of the rear panel and fit a piece of galvanized sheet metal for my connectors, fans, circuit breakers. I used a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate for a back plane to mount my components. I ordered step...

Re: Unable to Get Stepper to Move

Will do. I do have a nice wiring diagram drawn if it's of any interest to add to the library. For the screw terminals, the COM next to the EN1,2,3,4 isn't used? Is there any documentation that talks about each input/output on the Acorn board? I have the schematics but that doesn't go into much detai...

Re: Unable to Get Stepper to Move

The machine is a PM25-MV. I will continue to use the header and see how everything goes as I continue. I am only bench testing now and then will build cabinet. My mill is ordered but not scheduled to arrive until end of May or first of June.
