Have been away for a while haven't had any problems with either of my centroid acorns thought about getting another mpg so I don't have to switch mine back in forth from mill to lathe looks like they have double in price I guess I will keep moving back and forth

[carbuthn]

I think I paid about $200 when I purchased mine, the price in the link is $239 (for the Acorn), no where near double. They said the price would increase after the introduction period.

Still a good deal, having used one.

I think the reason he said the price had doubled is that the default price is for the Oak board. Scroll down to get the $239 price for the Acorn board...

The price is the same for the Wireless MPG itself for Acorn, Oak, All in One DC.
If you have multiple Acorns, they all have to be running PRO (So you have to buy licenses for each one to use the WMPG)
If you have multiple All in One DCs/OAK, they all have to have licenses for each one to use the one same WMPG, so licenses need to be purchased for them as well.

The reason the OAK price for the Wireless MPG looks higher is because the cost of the license $139 appears to be included along with the cost of the WMPG $239

If you are complaining about $239 for a decent Wireless MPG with additional features (and I believe they still pick up shipping costs) you are in the wrong hobby/business.

I apparently was looking at the oak almost 400 I was looking at the wrong one acorn one is 239 definitely worth the money I ordered one

I'm a little confused... The wireless mpg is listed as $403.00 for all-in-one-dc. The Acorn option is the only one listed at $264.

Does the Acorn board use a different wireless mpg?

I only have one machine running a centroid control, do I still have to buy the password?

If I do, once it's unlocked, can other generic wireless mpg's be configured to work with my all in one board?

Thanks

Pro license unlocks the MPG. And no, only this MPG works.

Same cost in either case.

- Acorn wireless MPG requires Pro level software. so real cost to get an MPG running on Acorn is
$264 for the MPG + $139 for Pro License = $403

- Oak/allinoneDC/mpu11 wireless MPG cost $403 and includes the software unlock for the wireless MPG functionality. (part#14688)
