Are you using/integrating an ohmic sensor in the THC?

I really think you guys should consider putting a picture of a stepper drive and motor below the DB25. This will eliminate a lot of confusion because people are still hooking stepper drives the the headers and then coming on the forum asking why they have no movement. I understand that there are a few steppers that work on the headers but very few. I don't think the latest version goes far enough to clarify this.

Add to that you have the words "stepper motors" next to the header connectors. It even reads "run any motor that accepts step and direction input." which is not a true statement. Just my 2¢

thanks, i know better than to answer that question! ha. that being said.. we hope to have fresh beta software release by end of week.

we will release the Acorn Plasma CNC12 software as a "stage 1" minimum viable feature set and then continue to add all the nice things to have as we go along just like we did (and are still doing) for the rest of the Acorn software.

Keith,

Do you have drawings/dimensions available for the extra plasma boards?

Thanks
