This is very nice to hear.
With ATCs becoming more affordable and this sort of documentation I could foresee myself buying one someday.

Re: Tool touch off from a single point.
Hello I've recently converted an OEM Avid CNC NEMA 23 controller over to Centroid Acorn (Mach 4... Why is it even sold?) and everything works rather smoothly (100khz seems to work fine with the Leadshine stepper drivers). However, up until now I've always used LinuxCNC and did all of my tool height...

Re: Tool touch off from a single point.
Thank you Swissi and Marty for the responses. Although the Probe App looks great I've found that a basic tool length offset works on LinuxCNC--so I think after watching some videos I'll likely find the basic method that Centroid Mill uses (I do strongly think a cheap 3d taster with Probe App might h...

Re: ZenBot 4x8 CNC Router
The controller box looks very clean and I think I might borrow your grommet idea for the DB25 cable.
I've got a few G540 setups and hand soldering DB9s is fine but doing passthrough with GX16 or the like complicates it too far for my limited skills.

Re: VFD Article
Automationdirect is pretty good for cables from my experience.
The VFD cable is pretty well made and not that costly for what you get.
I have very pathetic looking setups with unshielded stepper cables and the like with no issues--but VFD cables have always been properly done.
