@cnckeith,
Is the PED output useful for the Acorn, and how would I configure it on the Acorn?

I have figured out from various connection diagrams and the configuration wizard where to connect and how to configure the ALM+ ALM-. According to the servo manual, the PED output from the motor is the Arrive Position. I know I could assign the PED- signal to an input, but I don't see how to configu...

Thank you!

I am connecting a JMC iHSS57-36-20 integrated servo to the Acorn. The manual describes three different ways to connect the motor; common anode, common cathode, and differential signal. I think the common cathode is the proper method, is this correct for the Acorn? Here is a link to the manual. Also,...

I am upgrading my Chinese Precision 6090; it currently it has a Mach3 controller and NEMA 23 steppers.

I also have a Chinese 6090 machine I am going to upgrade. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I know that there are router enhancements coming in the next release of the software, but currently, is there a procedure or a macro for setting tool zero for manual tool changes without tool holders?

With the cost of servos and drives being so inexpensive now I can not understand why anyone would use steppers.

Has anyone used these really inexpensive integrated servos? NEMA23 2Nm 283oz.in, $80 each plus $24/16 Shipping to the US.
A set of 3 servos for under $300.

I am going to upgrade my machine. I have been investigating UCCNC and the Centroid Acorn. To me, the Acorn wins hands down. I am running a Chinese router with a Mach3 3-axis XHC controller, Leadshine D542 Stepper drives, and a Fuling inverter for a 2.2 KW Spindle. I do manual tool changes. There are...
