Re: MDI Spindle Voltage Incorrect

Disconnect wires from both Vout and COM analog terminals on Acorn and measure voltage on those terminals when manually commanding 1750 rpm. Does this produce 5vdc

Did you clean up wiring as we suggested in your other thread?

And PLEASE, post a new and current Report.zip

Re: 5v and db25

The DB25 is supplied with 5vdc from the board itself i.e. not a separate supply.

Imagine trying to make sense of a phone call when you can only hear 1 word out of 3 in every other sentence and I'm not talking of selective hearing :mrgreen: I think you could also usefully tidy up / replace the w...

Re: Unable to Set Spindle Speed via G-Code

Your error log is absolutely full of MPU and PC resends. This MUST be addressed before trying to work out other issues as the system will not work properly until this is sorted.
