It doesn’t do anything. The only response I can get is by pressing ‘2’ to complete the tasks, which are already completed.

I've been working on my ATC Rack with tool forks for my router and have followed the instructions included in the ATC Mill Router Rack Folder for installation. The one change I have made is utilizing Output #6 to unclamp the tool. I have tried 3 separate mfunc6.mac macros, and have the same error in...

As far as how many power supplies you need for your machine, most systems only need one power supply. Hope this helps, Tom T. I have an Avid CNC with 4 Nema 34 SDSK's with one Teknic IPC5 power supply and have not had any issues with not having enough power. I started out with the CNC4PC C86ACCP bo...

Has anyone had experience with one of the PC USB oscilloscopes? Would a 20MHz 2 channel be adequate for troubleshooting the acorn/drive circuits?

Do you have an Avid machine? I've been seeing a lot of those dual pipe dust shoes around on those lately. Is the dual pipe better? My guess is that with that setup you're going to have to have the tools spaced out a lot... Yes, I have an Avid Machine - not the reason I went with dual hoses, but wen...

I was able to measure the tool fork locations using Swi...

By any chance did you have smoothing set up other than the basic settings from Centroid on the Acorn- such as @sword's settings? I had to re-configure the smoothing settings in the Acorn after upgrading to 4.62. Some of the artifacts show up when I preview the tool path in Aspire until near the end ...

Have you run this job before without issues?

It would help if you could post the Aspire file. To me it looks like the step over of the bit is too high and maybe you had a direction change in the offset clearing field.

Toaster,
Looks great. Would you mind sharing your updated macro and latest report?

Working on my ATC rack this weekend and hope to get it working as well as yours.

Taylor, For X & Y axis I ordered SDSK-3421S-ELN . For X & Y axis you will want the ELN or a gear reduction, the Avid drive is just a little over 1:1 ratio. Due to my space limitations on the sides of the machine for access I went with the ELN motors to save space. For Z axis I ordered the la...
