Re: Suggest Acorn should be bundled with a DB25

What is this talk about the updated Acorn and its no DB25 technology onboard?

Is this going to affect the older boards and the updates for utilizing the DB25 port on the Acorn (for older ones of course)?

Re: Acorn Controller Won’t Connect – Bad BeagleBone?

Re: Lathe Tool Offsets - Tool Relationships?

Chaz,

I have been reading about the same ideas. My current lathe has a cross slide (of course) and the cross slide is not "beefy" enough to promote deep drilling or boring. I will also need to figure out a way to do something with the tailstock outside of the cross slide.

Seth

P.S. I would have ...

Boostedss...if you want me to make a complete schematic, okay. I will but it will be far off from now. Maybe in mid April or late April is when I can probably find time to configure things correctly for the entire build.

Re: Centroid acorn wiring for co2 laser

Okay. THIS IS NOT 100% CORRECT as I do not know what is going on without a google photos album and set up of current wiring diagrams from you.
