Re: 1 Computer 2 acorn boards

Some times it is best for me to keep my mouth shut, but I can be a slow learner. When I ask a question on a forum I expect to get answers (some good and some bad), opinions and suggestions based on others experiences. A lot of times the quality of what I get is how well I ask the question (did I pro...

Re: The ghost is back in the machine

Tuffduck, you know Google could answer this question for you. :mrgreen: From the Meanwell website: Input Voltage (V) 110/230 universal input 88 - 264 As always, I would unplug from the Acorn and check the output voltages from the power supply the first time I plugged into a new voltage source that w...

Re: Z Axis only traveling in -neg direction...

Just a guess (I am still new at this), and without a picture of the setup, the only thing that I can think of is the direction wire may be disconnected. It changes direction of the servo based on if it high or low voltage. If you have the newer acorn with led lights next to the step and direction co...

Re: The ghost is back in the machine

There is also at least two versions of the BeagleBone green, one has wifi on it. Maybe Keith will list the correct model that Centroid uses.

Re: Voltage on DB25

The mapping of the DB25 can be changed in the wizard. Depending on the mapping the polarity and voltage of the pin can change. A screen shot of the mapping could help. Most of us appreciate the time and effort that Marty put into this forum, most of the new members don't take the time to read the li...

Re: ATC and VFDEnable

A screen shot of the output page might help. I do know that you select the group of items at the top of the selelection box, that may be the problem. I am not at the same location as my lathe at the moment.

Re: Just checking I’m buying the correct servo parts

Chris, it is difficult to say if you have the correct servos, with out knowing what you are driving with them. When I purchased the ones for my PM25 mill, the x axis that I ordered was a little on the light side, I ended up getting one with a little more torque. Clearpath has a 90 day exchange/refun...
