Re: New setup help!
As Shawn states above, you have your drives p/r set to 800. Your report shows your Acorn config is set to 1600 which is where it should be BUT a mismatch with the drives. Before going any further, power off and reset each drive dip switches to 1600. Have you connected a E-Stop in the wizard? I see s...

Re: Facing with Intercon?
Simple answer I guess is not everyone wants or needs this. I would add (or subtract) an amount greater than the tool radius if I need full clearance at the end / start of each lateral move. But there are jobs where I don't need this e.g. surfacing my Router spoil board Be interesting to see Uwe's ta...

Re: WMPG6 Controller issues < usb ports , don't use power save or sleep >
Some other observations that might help: In the Report you posted for the 15 Jan your CPU has a Single thread benchmark of 1515 which is very close to the minimum required for Mill. Your CPU is used for both Desktop and Laptops - Hope you are not using a laptop as this is not recommended and could e...

No fix as you just need to correctly configure your machine.
From Main Menu F1 Setup --> F3 Parms and change parameter 001 from default 0 to 1 then F10 Save. This will provide Horizontal Front Mount

Re: control wont power up
Suggest you detail precise steps you are taking with some photos of the board before and after. The most recent archived report.zip would also assist

Re: In over my head - New CNC Router rebuild.
Your sequence is correct BUT the last report you uploaded is timestamped as Jan 5 circa 16:00. A current Report.zip is therefore needed to include changes you have made since that date

Re: In over my head - New CNC Router rebuild.
When you change any configuration, please generate NEW report.zip and post it. Referring to a report before changes were made does not help anyone understand your system and therefore limits our help.

Re: Acorn Input Question
Why do you need both? If you are intending to combine your 4 closed loop drives + spindle/VFD, you could take a look at schematic S14972 where 3 Clearpaths are setup to combine DriveOK signals using a common 5vdc relay board. Using this technique your additional CL drive is no problem and you could ...
