get a magnifying glass out and take a look at the encoder connector on Acorn board, the DB9 pins are actually numbered in the corner and those numbers match the pinout on the Acorn schematic. I think that'll answer your questions as to what pin is what. and yes the acorn board is supplying the 5 vol...

CNC 12 will run with Defender running. Any version of Windows 10 will work with CNC 12 software, the wizard, and the vcp. turning off the defender is simply a debug step just to verify that that is not the issue if you can't connect to the acorn board. Not a requirement. Proper exceptions have to be...

yep..i will make an announcement drawing you'all attention to it for sure.

please wire as seen in schematic S14851 to get things working...

MX4660 doesn't have an estop input like the G540.

Shift print screen makes a beautiful shot of your desktop then you can open paint hit control V for paste and then s...

right on.... the second image error messages are a result of not running the wizard as per the install video. :D and fyi.. you can always force the lan to acorn connection manually if somehow the auto LAN/ethernet setup during install got mixed up. this is rare, but if you must you can simply go int...
