Hello,
Maybe I missed it but I've been looking through the documentation to find the mounting hole locations for the Acorn relay module and haven't found them. If there is a document, can someone point me in the right direction?
I am asking because I am planning to convert my Tormach to Centroid Acorn as I believe the cost analysis appears to be that it's cheaper to get the rigid tapping (with an encoder, of course) and some sort of conversational CNC system by using Centroid Acorn as opposed to upgrading to either Mach 4 or PathPilot. (I am not convinced that Mach 4 or PathPilot would do want I want without either more expense or time invested.) That being said, I'd like to be able to use the Tormach to prepare for the upgrade so any needed parts are already made when I tear it down to upgrade it.
Thanks!

Re: Mounting hole locations for relay module?
The holes are spaced to work with WAGO 209-188 DIN rail brackets. They work well. These also work with the ETHER1616. I 3d printed an Acorn DIN bracket from a model I found on Thingaverse.

Re: Mounting hole locations for relay module?
Thanks! I didn't think to check the Ether1616 instructions. I am wondering if I checked an old version of the manual or something. I have no idea. Maybe I need to wake up.
Anyhow, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
