Retrofitting a 15 yr old Stone milling machine (Prussiani)

[ash]

Hi everyone!
This is my first post in this forum and I'm glad it's in the success stories section. I bought Acorn with ethernet expansion board and milling software around 6 months ago for retrofitting a Prussiani milling machine. The machine had an obsolete control panel riddled with lots of stability issues. The decision on purchasing a new controller was easy since I had one priority above all, reliability. I compared all the available options ESS+ mach4, Linux CNC, etc with acorn. It was like comparing android and apple. but a cheaper more accessible apple. I made the purchase and started retrofitting the machine. I completely tore down the old control panel built it up from scratch with updated quality components. I couldn't be more satisfied with acorn. The machine is running great with no issues. Everything from the customizable VCP to easy-to-use yet feature-rich inbuilt CAM is proving to be of incredible use.
I'm really glad I picked acorn and happy to be a part of this community!.
