Coming back to this, unplugging the Touchscreen makes no difference (once the fault occurs). The only way to clear the fault is to power down the Acorn board. Are there any logs / debug commands I can run whilst in this state? It looks like some form of a 'speed override' is taking place and it the...

Eureka!.. Figured it out.. it was those damn delrin nuts... They could not handle the speed and so they slipped. Glad it's solved and thanks for getting back with us. This is an example of you are there, we are not. We're thinking control not mechanicals. Not your fault, but makes "long distan...

Good news. Is your board the newer one with removable terminal blocks?
Are you connecting the DYN4 drives to the green terminal blocks? What schematic are you using?

Andy... I solved the issue on my board by running the 5volt power thru an output/relay to OKFault. More info and my hacked schematic near the end of this thread: http://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=1395&p=8266#p8266 Thanks Gary, I thought I killed the board. Everything was work...

Thanks cncsnw, I havn't used any of the industrial type spindles. More inquiring about the direction to go. Makes sense though the drive being the repeater. I already have an Acorn board, still will go with it for initial machine build & to learn the interface. Maybe upgrade the control board d...

I am getting closer to doing the final finished wiring. What do people normally do with the open collector drive fault outputs? I seen Gary used a relay board to deal with this. Can these outputs all be wired in parallel and hooked to the drive OK input? I know there will be no indication as to whi...

Looks great Jasen

I wish you CONTINUED good luck so you can fine tune things. Marty Installed a new PC today (Intel NUC), clean install, everything done as per spec. Issue reoccurred. This was with the touchscreen. The only way to fix it is to restart the Acorn board. Odd. Ill check if there are better / other drive...

Thanks Marty, That is a very nice changer & gives another option with the small drive wheel to orient the spindle. I agree on the stepper for carousel mechanism. Can Acorn mirror or output the encoder position to be used by either the Spindle drive or another microprocessor, or would a second e...
