Re: PM30 with Acorn used to work now one axis doesn't work
Sounds like your spare "C" drive is SNAFU but still not sure about drive "B". This still doesn't feel right as you say everything was working until you moved it - Machine, Control cabinet, Acorn or everything? Please upload a current report.ZIP (not the TXT file) as this contains...

Re: PM30 with Acorn used to work now one axis doesn't work
Swapping "ALL" does not take you forward. Try only swapping the X and Y connections on the Acorn board which will help identify whether the board itself or possibly your wiring is causing the problem. As an additional check, you could also disconnect your existing X axis wiring between Aco...

Re: KO Lee grinder conversion
The specs are on the motor photo you posted
With 2.2vdc and 7 amps you have an inductance near to 1.8mH but this needs checking. This implies a safe max voltage of around 42vdc. The max power is therefore around 300watts which should get you off the ground with Teknic.

Re: Time Remaining
For my part, initial time estimate shown alongside elapsed runtime would be a very useful addition. Option to suspend elapsed time during toolchange would also be useful for me but probably not for everyone

Re: MANUAL ATC FOR 5 AXIS ROUTER -HELP
Exactly Tom, that is how and why I have configured ProbeApp for my router.
This method does NOT use stored offsets for any tools (just diameter etc) but you don't need them anyway if you are going to measure tools at every toolchange.

Re: MANUAL ATC FOR 5 AXIS ROUTER -HELP
Review Swissi's ProbeApp on this forum. I use it on my router for exactly the same reason as your situation

Re: Measuring Probe length offset
A probe will normally have significantly less spring return pressure than a tool setter e.g. my DP-4 and TT-2. If this is the case, you don't need both active. Just activate the device with the weakest spring and touch off on the other device FYI, you will get precisely the same result using the abo...

Re: Intercon milling fail
Edit the Intercon icn file and don't worry about changing Modal as you simply change the Plunge rate value of 3 (mm/min) to something more sensible in BOTH Circular pockets. Modal continues to be be valid until the next change of course. As you are using a feedrate of 300mm/min in the XY plane, perh...
