Question about the ethernet cable that goes from the Acorn to the controller computer, can I use any ethernet cable or is there a specific one I would like to get like a 50 footer so that I can go all around my garage anywhere I want.. Does anybody have a specific recommendation for this

Meaning there’s a way to link YouTube to this forum or no

What is the method or a plan of attack for posting videos on this forum

Everything seems to be working correctly I have about .0025 of slop right now but I haven’t really played with the Gibbs a whole lot

OK little update so the settings in Acorn we’re set to 6400 instead of 1600 so I resent that and everything seems to be smooth now I need to update CNC 12 and continue to try to figure out this VFd

OK I will update software this evening and go through both configuration menus I am pretty much going blind at this just done what I’ve read on this site and what you guys are telling me. So I will try to mimic the same settings in both programs and see what we get from there

No my clear path servos are direct drive with a Lovejoy couple are in between No belts ,only belt is on the spindle motor

OK so I put an indicator on base on my X axis and measured 1 inch of movement on the machine on the screen it reads.0252 So I’m not sure what is wrong

Do my other settings seem correct because like I said on the screen showing machine movement of 1 inch it moves a lot more than 1 inch on the actual machine???
