Re: Atc spins endlessly after reboot.

If you have an axis designated to rotate the carousel, then CNC12 will attempt to home it via the wizard generated homing routine. With no sensor installed, the axis will rotate until the sensor triggers. If no sensor.......... If the position of the carousel is important, I recommend adding a homin...

Re: Can Clearpath SDSK & Hybrid Steppers be connected to C86ACCP ?

#4: Are you sure that those <200ozin steppers are suitable for your mill?
