Hello folks,
New here, so please be nice
I have some ClearPath SD motors and the Acorn CNC Controller and would like to know if I can use Mach3.
I noticed that the A axis is not included in the free version of the CNC Centroid, am I correct?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Acorn CNC Controller & Mach3
The Acorn board is not compatible with Mach 3. You should probably just upgrade the acorn if you need the full 4th axis it mill be easier and cheaper than trying to get it to work properly with Mach 3.

No, that would be like trying to use BetaMax tape in a DVRI have some ClearPath SD motors and the Acorn CNC Controller and would like to know if I can use Mach3.
Yes, Pro license is required for 4th axisI noticed that the A axis is not included in the free version of the CNC Centroid, am I correct?
