Stepperonline wiring for CL57T drive to ACORN CNC controller

Looks like you didn't use the db25 port and 5v. Good luck with that, but lots of people have tried, failed, and then followed the db25 suggestion.

My mill is running perfectly with CL57T V4 24V on the Headers, but CL86T V3 is better on 5V DB 25.

Thanks @suntravel. not that its a big deal to re-do wiring for 5V but now I have to get a DB25 a breakout board and wire all the drives from there. Requires moving the drives and Acorn to accommodate for 3.5" DB25 adaptor. Additionally, the wiring diagram that is shown by a couple people has different drive connections than mine? I don't have ALM- but I do have ALM, BRK, and COM.

I still have 3 more drives and need pin outs for those...DB25 to signal on drives...which I just found. So now to old school very very tiny wiring to a DB25 break out board.

Your "very very tiny wires" only need to be 22awg anyway which I use with small ferrules to facilitate easy connection. Best to use with suitable multi core screened / shielded cable.

Thanks! I stuck with 24V signal. Rewired today. all indications are that drives are enabled exact for 1 drive. All lights "green". not able to move drives via GUI Acorn interface - "jog". try another day.

Do you have the wiring schematic for the CL57T V41 that uses the 24V on the headers? I believe I have it wired correctly and I am communicating to the ACORN. All COM wires going to Negative COM / GND
1)Enable lights are all red until I jog each axis via CNC12 software and they turn green but they are not moving? #4 doesn't turn to green even if I jog the axis? I can move each axis by hand whether it is enabled or not
2) Small program, ~15kb, is loaded. I'm using Router Free software. Centroid assured me that it will still operate. I'm just limited to certain things in PRO software, but it should give me a warning if program requires upgraded software license.
3) All dip switches are "OFF" except 1, 3, and 4 = 8 microstep and 1600 pulses/rev. No fault codes blinking. Green status light on all drives.
4) 24V / 5V selector switch is on 24V. Rotating switch set to #4 = 5.6 Peak Amps, 4 Amps RMS, Velocity Loop Ki =0, Position Loop Kp=25, and Velocity Loop Kp=25 - according to table in manual.
5) I don't have a E-Stop or any home or limit switches wired into controller. All Input LEDs are RED. I figured I could manually test everything before I wire all the switches into Inputs on controller
6) Not using Outputs / Relay board -all LEDs are red
