I believe Acorn outputs 0-10V for the VFD signal, but a cnc4pc 89 board can added to emulate a -/+ 0-10v. I haven't explored that yet.
I might have to; I don't think the Invert Polarity uses the Deceleration setting, although I'm still reading.
I could add a delay to the Invert and probably stop the hard reverse, although running in velocity speed control mode is the ClearCore's only function.
With a live tool call or threading, indexing etc., it would switch to Acorn C axis control.
Keep in mind I have a beginner level of C++ training, my last serious code was written 42+ years ago, in my mid 20's.

idk how clearpath handles the MC teknic servos, I only use the SD series with clearpath

What I am doing for my yaskawa servo that uses +/-10v for dir is to use a DPDT relay to switch the gnd and 0-10v wires with a relay output from acorn

that cnc4pc board looks kinda slick tho

I don't have an MC motor, it's an SDHP (high power output), with the invert statement (only used in SD) it works flawlessly with Acorn and the M codes.
I'm still working on the best way to handle the enable and e-stop. both cause program freezes when using the standard ClearCore code for the inputs.
And I have not come up with a solution yet for a software reset to get out of the freeze, has to have a reboot. In most of their examples, they enable the motor in the setup, before the loop. it will disable with the enable input, but it freezes the program in the motor error loop. I might be able to write something in that error loop to jump out and reset, then it would hang at the enable statement if written with a loop waiting for the enable, which would be fine.
