From your thermal video, you can see heat hit the Transient Voltage Suppression diode (TVS1) next to the diode (D1) A few measurements with a multimeter would pinpoint the fault. the Cap, Diode, or drop resister could be shorted. Ether way its a RMA.

Can you get a better shot of D1 In pic 3 it almost looks like the direction indicator strip is toward the input (backwards).

For the record my question was about cabling vs wires from connector to the driver for both the encoder and power. The existing ones (power) are temporary , I've already removed the encoder wires. I've seen lots of these done as I have the power wires here but that does not mean its the best way. S...

If the cabinet is permanently affixed to the machine then direct pass threw is reasonable and preferred. But the Acorn comes with a DB25 G540 compatible plug. which, in turn, uses DB9's, etc. So a lot of smaller DIY build not based on a retrofit may have a separate control box where connectors make ...

The Machine type is for defining the spec of the machine such as table size, max speed, spindle rpm range. The Centroid Acorn is made to retrofit or custom builds, so there will not be a reference in most cases. unless you retrofitted a known machine like a Fadal etc. The Machine selection is not re...

Look what i got today!!

Wow, thanks to everyone I just tracked it and it should be here tomorrow!! @eng199 Makes perfect sense thanks @CNCKeith Thanks for the info, For the build its uses C5 1604 4mm for better resolution with the scale of the application, THK20mm rails, a Jagger ATC spindle 100k-RPM, the machine is made u...

@ drdennis

What were your sample rate and bit resolution? I found there is a Centroid command 228 to turn it on and off it would be interesting to see both profiles. it will be a few days before mine shows up and I can throw an accelerometer on one and plot
