I swapped the MPG with the one from my lathe. Problem follows the MPG. Lathe MPG works as expected on the mill.
The rotary encoder stopped working. Is there a repair or replacement program along the lines of the Acorn deal?

Wireless MPG wheel stopped working
I'm in the middle of a production run on my mill and the wireless MPG wheel stopped working. I've powered down, rebooted, restarted, new batteries, and all the other obvious stuff I can think of. It hasn't been dropped or anything. The wheel just stopped working on any of the modes. All the buttons ...

Re: Bridgeport series 1 centroid CNC4 to acorn conversion
Leadshine makes a really nice NEMA 42 Easy Servo motor and drive that's hard to beat. It's a closed loop stepper. Bolts right up aside from maybe needing a different size taper lock. Save yourself a lot of agg by not putting N34s on it. It's not a place to scrimp. Otherwise you wind up buying motor...

Re: Struggling with lathe tool auto touch off
Tom mentions the tool probe being in the tool table. I know how that works on my mill. This is a lathe conversation and I don’t see anything in the manual about a lathe tool touchoff being in the tool table or assigned a tool number..

Where did Keith say that? I’m not seeing it.Black Forest wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 4:17 pm What Keith wrote says you will have to pay for version upgrades in the future and if you don't pay you don't get support on this forum from Centroid. Something about that doesn't taste right to me.

Re: Struggling with lathe tool auto touch off
Following along. I bought the TT-4 for lathe and could not figure out the auto tool measure routines. I’m measuring manually and it’s working perfectly.

Re: The AcornSix CNC controller kit has been released!
In the spirit of this conversation, I'm not running the latest CNC12 on one of my machines because it works great and I haven't had the time/need to upgrade.. On another, I have the latest because it solved an issue I was having..

Re: Acorn Lathe Intercon help needed
Uwe - thank you for working with me on this. Unfortunately the intercon file you posted doesn't work for my situation.
