I'd like to see a video of your buddy's DYN4/Servo system rigid tapping and single point threading. Would like a screen shot of his DMMDRV settings and a fresh CNC12 Report. Send him here. A final wiring diagram would be welcomed too. He isn't using Acorn/CNC12, but LinuxCNC/MESA board instead. I'l...

Sort of dragging up an older thread here, but just curious why you'll didn't change the OnPosRange setting to prevent the spindle creep? I know of several folks, who once they solved the noise issues in their system, this setting settled out any movement left. It is interesting why this seems to hap...

Updated my ladder diagrams with a few items I'd forgotten about and also went ahead and drew out my diagrams for the EMCO PC Turn 55 since it's controls will be very close to the mills, minus the obvious differences and a few oddball things I'm experimenting on. Mentioned this before, if anyone does...

One question that might be a Keith question. I've searched, but found nobody with quite the same question. My Acorn on the lathe is the older style board and the one for the mill is the newest version with the relay board. Well, my mill circuit would play much better with the older board, at least ...

Marty, that PCB solution you posted the other night on the Acorn FB group actually might come in handy now that I've drawn everything out. Allowing the option to use terminals on the outputs for the new board is pretty good. Let me know if you come up with something. Long as it doesn't take up extr...

Ok, figured I'd go ahead and start a build thread. Probably going to be a good while before much progress is shown on this as I'm very slow due to back issues. The mill is an existing very modified Taig mill with a heavy duty frame and R8/TTS spindle with power draw bar. It's currently running with ...

the beta ATC programs work. and they are free and easy to install...that's what we got for now!

Yup, I've had mine working for well over a year and a half.

Hello. The latest Acorn Lathe Turret BETA program are available here. https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1340 They have detailed instructions and schematics and are pretty easy to install and configure. we even included a truth table calculator to help with the grey logic setting...
