Nice!
Will there be a 0-5V inputs for let's say torch height controller?

Hello Guys/gals!! Happily I am a new owner of an Ancorn and it's on its way, i was going to buy a Masso, an australian board, but I saw that is pretty new and basically 4th and 5th axis are not working yet, they are in beta. I was going to buy an oak, but the 1600 + the 3 motor cables, plus 1500 for unlocking the software for the 5th axis, made go for the Acorn. But I was worried about the i/o. and came to the forum and saw this!!!
Which is pretty great!! Saw I bought the thing. Going to put it on a Lagun FTV-1 that I bought. And wait for the expansion board. Do you guys have an idea of when is going to be available? Thanks in advance! Wherever you can say about it, please do! :) :) :) :)

Thanks for the reply, already read that. Which is pretty cool. with 2 of them, i can do the whole thing. But I was wondering more in the time frame. Some guys already have the beta version right? I'm guessing maybe in a few months?

Dear Moderator cnckeith :) Let us know how things are going, Obviously I hope is going great! Already saw that there's a big difference in time response, it is because of the electronics in the network switch? Can we put another one configured with same ip's, etc? I'm thinking is not because of that. and if you guys are working in trying to make it work faster or clean code, well. is going to be a long journey. thanks in advance!

This is amazing! I had even considered using the existing 8 outputs (well 6 of them) using macros to send to a 6 bit signal to an arduino and use that to control multiple outputs.

This expansion board is a game changer! Looking forward to it!
