Re: Repair / Retrofit of Milling/Machining Center TRUMP B8AC

Hi everyone, it's been a while but got some nice news.

Finally my friend decided to convert his machine with the newer AllIn1DC. He went with the wired MPG and the Centroid control panel as option.

Re: Repair / Retrofit of Milling/Machining Center TRUMP B8AC

It looks like I found the problem!
The fiber cable radius was too steep.

Re: Repair / Retrofit of Milling/Machining Center TRUMP B8AC

It looks like the fiber modules TX/RX in the Centroid console and electrical panel seems to be Agilent/HP, Versatile Link series (HFBR-2524 and HFBR-1524)

Hello everyone,

I am helping my friend regarding his milling he acquired, details below. He knows the machine wasn't working

I am still building my table and my boards are still brand new in box.
