I am not compensating for the machine itself however when I V-carve I can get .5mm discrepancies in locations of material that isn't flat or has areas that are hard to notice by eye they are not flat. I guess I will have to create the tool as no one else has this problem. Maybe not too many out the...

It would be nice to add the ability to run a job from the graphing screen rather than reverting back to the home screen to press 'run'

Do you have the resistors installed per the latest Acorn/SDSK documentation for Step/direction/Enable?

You would need two relays from the acorn, one for momentary contact for turning the DC on, and one for momentary contact for turning the DC off. If you look at Oneida's wireless remote line diagram you may be able to parallel with the remote. Another way to do it would be to use the contactor wire t...

Do yourself a big favor and skip the C86 board, it causes many people nothing but headaches. It's also just another failure point in the system that's simply not needed. You can buy the 4 channel relay board for the HFLB circuit on Amazon for about $7 and have it tomorrow I'm sure. :mrgreen: Make s...

I am thinking of using a Raspberry Pi zeroW to text the machine operator's phone when there is an error/fault or G-Code file is completed. This is not intended to be a thread discussing leaving the machine unattended or unsafe practices in the shop. This is intended to discuss an additional method t...

The C86ACCP is not well documented by the seller. My experience with it was beyond a terrible experience. IMO it is a project in process. When the individual for support comments to the effect that 'most people don't understand how it works so we don't publish a manual for everything that it will do...

I used one of these https://www.adafruit.com/product/1609 breadboards to mount the resistors and run one +24VDC source, placed a https://www.adafruit.com/product/2671 header on it and used https://www.adafruit.com/product/826 extension wires from the header to the drive cable ferrule on the terminal...

Yup, there are two choices, simple direct wire or a complicated, additional board to confuse you that's simply not needed. Seems like an obvious choice to me but I'm a simple caveman and your C86 board confuses me. :mrgreen: And the relay board for the HLFB signal that is recommended by Centroid is...

Good thought, whats not there can not make problems

You can use 4 ch relay boards for the HLFB to interface to one Acorn Input or individual inputs to the ETHER1616.
