I have started retrofitting my SBL to acorn. Already did a retrofit with another controller and was not pleased with how it works as a lathe so most of the wiring will work with Acorn setup.
So far Acorn is much easier to set up and configure and the software/conversational side is what iam looking for.

Currently wiring up I/Os and have a question on hot keys.
Is there a hot key for the work light?
Can more hot keys be added for the VCP buttons?
What iam currently using the work light output for is Enabling the main machine contactor/relay. As i need the relay to stay on until CNC12 closes, this is
the only output i have found that will stay ON when an Estop condition happens. But it can easily be shut off with same button.
Other than adding a latching relay, is there another way to do this with software?
Thanks for any info,
Troy
