For sale: Acorn controller and WMPG

Post by neowalla »

I'm offering my Acorn-2488 controller and wireless MPG pendant for sale. I bought the Acorn new in February 2021. The WMPG was purchased new April 2023.
It has had light (hobby) use. My location is Windsor Ontario, but I can ship anywhere. $500 OBO.

Does the Acorn work? Your last post was "CNC12 stopped working" and you never stated what the issue was. So do you know if the Acorn board works or not?

The last time I used it was in October and it worked fine. I don't know whether the issue is software or hardware as the WMPG is able to move axes. I've had connection issues with this system in the past and frankly I'm sick of spending all my time troubleshooting it instead of using it. I'm selling it as is for anyone who has the time and patience to deal with it. The WMPG is practically brand new and I would keep it if it worked with any of the other controllers I'm currently looking at.

If you look at your error log you'll see the issues. When you have a communication error like the ones in your error log nothing will work so what you experienced is normal for your type of error(s). You have to fix the noise issue for it to go away. You would also need to set up your travel limits and home switches correctly also. Or you can throw in the towel and buy another controller.

Either way it's not a problem with Acorn.

Good then I don't have to worry about selling it "as is".
