Re: CNC4PC C86ACCP for ClearPath SDSK servos

So I am currently running clear paths but considering picking one of these up as the pcb’s I’m using are starting to fail, so want to switch over to this set up, my question is on the directions on the website it says to use his report, I have tons of macros and settings that I don’t want to take a...

Re: CNC4PC C86ACCP for ClearPath SDSK servos

In the Teknic MSP Software you can change the direction of the motor to reverse.

I'm glad you were able to get yours to work. Did you have to change any of the other jumpers to get this to work, or just the slave jumpers?

Re: J Tech Laser - compatibility question

Future plans for Acorn PWM are to pipe a 5 vdc PWM output to pin 14 on the DB25 and create two parameters to control the base frequency and duty cycle of the PWM to facilitate easy variable power control of Laser modules via Gcode. This is a new software feature (hardware is in place) and when avai...

Re: Shopbot PRS 48x96 Acorn / Clearpath Conversion

There is a problem when a motor faults. The kinetic energy can keep that axis moving until friction stops all motion. During that time, if the Power-4 hub is used, the position of the axis is known, but not to Centroidcnc. In other words, the Centroidcnc software does not keep an encoder count for ...
