I am installing the C86 board in my centroid acorn system. I have upgraded the program to the latest and now I am trying to change the drive type from the default to Clearpath. The program will not accept it. It says that the change has been done and re-cycle the program. I have tried multiple times to recycle just the program and also both the program and power to the acorn board. Nothing!
On another front the program keeps detecting a motor fault. I have the C86 board output tied to input 5 and input 5 set in the wizard to Drive OK. How should the c-86 board be set up and what should the wizard be set to?
current report attached
can't get wizard to change drive type

Re: can't get wizard to change drive type
Drive type is only for preconfiguring, I have mine allways on benchtest and dial in the right values in the Axis Configuration since I use not on all axes the same motors.

Re: can't get wizard to change drive type
I don't understand why Centroid would put a whole section into their software that does not do anything. Also why can I not change the selection? Is that common?

Re: can't get wizard to change drive type

are your pressing "Load Drive" to load the drive type? after you select it. only then go set your inputs and outputs.

Re: can't get wizard to change drive type
I took the computer home, cleaned all of the centroid program material off, downloaded a fresh install from the web, re-installed it and now everything seems to work like it should. That box you show circled in your message was not appearing in the first install.

Re: can't get wizard to change drive type
You just need to scroll down. It's not very apparent that there is a scroll bar there. They should move that box to the Top.Tlempicke wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 7:07 am I took the computer home, cleaned all of the centroid program material off, downloaded a fresh install from the web, re-installed it and now everything seems to work like it should.

if you are running at the recommended screen resolution of 1920x1080 there are no scroll bars and everything appears on the screen.CNCMaryland wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 11:51 amYou just need to scroll down.
