Already running on my mill with Acorn, no problems.

Nice new features in the Wizard.

Uwe

Set up the scale in machine setup and use #423 to display the scale position on the DRO.

With Arcorn 6 you can set up scales in the Wizard.

Uwe

Usually the Dir/Rev of the steppers is not matching to CNC12.

To test set 5.08 in the wizard for the 5mm ballscrew, unmount the stepper and let the axis move 1/5,08=0,1968"
If the stepper is not exactly turning 1 rev, something is not set up right.

Uwe

Are both servos for X completely configured the same?

Uwe

Pinout from Aikron is not the same as Centroid encoder port, you must rewire the Aikron DB9 plug.

Parameter for scales are in the manual, to define an axis as linear or rotary is done in the wizard.

Uwe

If you want to finetune rev/in use a distance of minimum 1", better more.

With only 0.1 result will be more effected by stick/slip and backlash.

Voltage will have no influence on the setp rate, but use the highest allowed voltage for maximum torque.

No clue, I have a fusion abo, because I make parts to sell.

If you use manual tool change in Fusion, you will be prompted to change the tools.
