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 ...

Re: NEW BUILD! Chinese CNC 1313 replacing mach3
You router folks are shortcutting industrial standards.
A router is also a mill, I would never remove G43 and G49, but adjust the M6 for manual tool change with automatic tool length measuring after screwing in a new tool in a collet spindle.
For a one tool code, just measure the tool before ...

Re: Complete PM-25 Acorn CNC mill.
Well, I convinced my wife that I couldn't get a decent price for my CNC milling machine. So I guess I'll keep it. 😁😁😁
In fact, I just bought a lathe that I'm hoping will cut down on the chips I track into the house. 😄
:mrgreen:
In the chip throwing competition, my lathe wins always ...

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.

Re: Updating to 5.30 another disaster
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.

Hope this helps to make it fit to your part
