THC Data

Post by rlwoodjr »

I have a ACORN board, but not the THC. I am hoping I can use the THC function by using a microcontroller to change the arc voltage to a encoder signal.

What 'encoder-like' data is sent to the ACORN board from the RX of the YHC board? Is ter any documentation on this? I see for the spindle CNC it is an encoder. Is te board senfing an encoder signal to represent the arc voltage?

There is no information on what is being sent from the RX board to the acorn thru the encoder port.

I'm not sure what the Encoder port on the Acorn communicates with.
