Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

That is why I went with the Fineline router, he has some customers who have done the same with the plasma/router setup. That is exactly what I’m planning on doing if Centroid develops a plasma controller add on to the Acorn. I think I read somewhere that it was in the works and it shows on their sit...

Thanks Marty and yes they’re rated from 6-36v. Thanks for the compliment on the router, it’s a Fineline Automation Saturn 2x4 router. I will probably do a build thread here and at cnczone if I have time. Hopefully it will get some more Acorn users so newbies like myself can get the extra suport we n...

Here’s a couple. The router will be here in a couple weeks and I just need to weld up the stand. I will post pictures of the electronics once I get them laid out. I still have to form up the controller box and fab up the monitor/keyboard arm that will attach to the router. The sensors I have are NPN...

Thanks,

Thank you for your quick reply. One more question, does wiring the drives through the db25 eliminate the need to use the 5volts and resistors? So that all I would need to wire would be step,direction,disable, and common for the 4 drivers? If so do you have a picture of how it’s wired or a drawing? T...

Does anyone have a photo of how you wired a Geckodrive 203v to the Acorn Board? The schematic has me confused since gecko doesn’t show anything about the 5v being wired this way and says the logic drive is supposed to supply it with the voltage signals. This is from Gecko 203v manual: “The STEP, DI...
