This old CNC router needed a control facelift, so I took the road down the Acorn rabbit hole. And I'm happy I did.
Old controller was AMC v1, which could not handle true 3d paths causing it to randomly speed up and down. And was forced to use their toolpath software.
Replaced with Acorn and servos which added a lot of bennifits:

Replaced with Acorn and servos which added a lot of bennifits:
- Auto squaring
- true 3d
- probing
- G-code support.
- Faster rapids.
