Was working on a bridgeport to acorn with dyn 4 drives and servos. Never did get them to work. was wondering about the acorn boards which I bought two when they first came out. are they the same as the ones sold today. did get the wireless pendant and pro software too. I see now they have router software but could not find any videos of it working. Got a chinese router 6090 which is about a 2 by 2 router. it has steppers and mach3 which is a real pain to use. should be a quick and easy conversion to acorn with it. just wondering if and what is the intercon like with the router software. I have v carve pro and aspire both are older versions but no need to up grade till i get used to them again forgot a lot of things.. LOl..

I ended up sending them back and they updated the software and returned them and at that time I did order there cables also. Then I got sick so everything stopped. I have this router here about the same time and was going to do it when I finished the bridgeport . But I will try my hand at the router first. It has three leadshine 542 drives. and a XHC mach 3 controller card and a huanyang inverter 220 single to 3 phase for the spindle. The spindle is water cooled and going to replace it with an air cooled. will need a computer with windows 10 since it came with an old computer with XP pro. Hopefully it should be an easy conversion. Our Millport 4 axis mill is now 10 years old with the centroid M400 controller and it has never missed a beat yet.
