Re: Acorn6 CNC12 faulting randomly???

Contact Centroid Support. I believe they have a $200 swap out program for Acorn. Send your old board in, and they will send,a new one with a new license.

Re: Reset my home

That means your home switches are not very repeatable. Do you have a tool changer or fixed probe that rely on machine coordinates? If not, no harm will come from hetting yes,and accepting the new home position.

If you were midway through a part, you will need to re-indicate the part position and ...

ChatGPT is worth exactly what you paid for it. If you remove the finish pass, the face cuts will remain since they are ...

Re: Understand existing Acorn Mill

I would not just assume you can remove a wire. Someone took the trouble to run that wire and attach it to an output for a reason. I would trace where the wire goes and determine its function. Most likely, the Acorn configuration is incomplete or incorrect.
