External Potentiometer for Feed Rate Overide

Post by Bajaking »

Hello everyone,

Steve from Wales UK here. I'm new to the forum and I'm considering purchasing an Acorn CNC and have a question that I cant find the answer to anywhere else.

Is it possible to have an external potentiometer for feed rate overide with the Acorn and if so how would I go about it.

Thanks in advance.

not on Acorn (yes on oak and allin1dc and mpu11 systems) that functionality is on the Wireless MPG. you can turn the big MPG wheel and it will adjust the feedrate overide just like a external potentiometer.
