When starting with DIY CNC 4 years ago I also had a look at Masso but it was out after a few minutes.
Not enough functions and not very open to customize it, no conversational g code generation for easy parts.
The easy update function and additional APP for a smartphone is nothing if the CNC cannot ...

Re: Acorn board new project
You can find the serial number if you power up the board in the CNC12 screen, or in a report generated.
If you purchase a license you have to send a report anyway
Go step by step from the installation manual and it is easy to setup your CNC..
I prefer one input for each axis for a HomeLimit ...

Yes there must be +24V on 24 IN, otherwise the inputs will not work.

Re: lathe turret conversion help please
IMHO for the original function you have to use the original encoder from baruffaldi.
It is one with 4bit Gray Code, parity and strobe signals, so it will use 6 inputs on the Acorn board.
Acorn can read the current tool position with the Gray code.

Re: ATC - Schematic/Operation Question
Probably. I would opt for one from a manufacturer who can spell, and who can draw a legible porting diagram; but then I am just an elitist snob about such things.

In this time I have tested several updates for beta testing on two full customized machines with Acorn6....
I cannot read what your problem really is here?
I just use NP++ to compare the VCP skin and PLC after an update to redo any custom editing if it is needed.

Re: how to program in Intercon
Just a sample with a 12mm Endmill and no compensation.
Done in a minute, I love Intercon
Hope this helps to make it fit to your part

For the voltage fluctuation, I'd take a look at ...

Green is not tripped and red is tripped.
Make sure with ALT+I the Probe Tripped Input is changing if the probe is red (tripped)
