Re: My turn with an interesting one. Spindle only works for one file

Doing some testing of my own I find that I get the same issue you're describing.
Using a fresh install of CNC12 v5.10 and having M10 and M11 in the g code will cause the spindle to stop working after running the job.
Once the M10 and M11 are removed the spindle works as expected after the job ...

Re: Build Thread - 99 Bridgeport / Romi EZPATH SD Oak

That's a great looking machine, definitely looks like it's been taken good care of.
If you haven't already I'd definitely recommend getting acquainted with the Lathe operator manual:

Re: My turn with an interesting one. Spindle only works for one file (RESOLVED)

Looking at "acorn_router_plc.src" from a CNC12 v5.30 acorn install.
Keyboard keys are assigned system variable labels starting with "Kb_" followed by the key and "_SV".
So if we want to find the system variable associated with the right arrow we'll want to find "Kb_Right_SV".
You can CTRL+F and ...

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

Here is a link with instructions on testing if the BBG is bricked, or bad in general: https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_diy/acorn_debricker.html
And yes, the BBG can be replaced on it's own, but you will need to do the debrick procedure on the new BBG.
Another option could be using the Acorn ...

Re: MPG problems

Since this was setup and working previously it seems unlikely it's a configuration or PC issue.
It's entirely possible the antenna went bad, either in the WMPG itself or the receiver that's plugged into the PC.
We have replacement receivers available as part # 15357 for $40.
With instructions on how ...

Re: Suggest Acorn should be bundled with a DB25

I feel like Keith has covered this in a forum post somewhere, but can't find it.
This has been brought up in the past and it partly comes down to that term you used: "might need."
Not everyone will need this, but we'll need to charge for it regardless.
And at that we would need to up charge for it ...

Re: Corrupted acorn board

Hello and welcome to the forums!
Can you see any visual damage on the board?
Are you seeing a heartbeat light on the BBG?
Please post pictures of the error window and of the Acorn, preferably in a bench test like state.
Disconnect everything except the power.
Here is some information for testing if ...

Re: X Axis only moves +

What happens if you go into MDI without any faults or errors?
Does X start running away and then give the position error?
