Re: Upgrading a Gorilla CNC from Flashcut to Acorn
Hi Centroid467,
I completed all my testing one by one and was confident that these drives were safe to configure as Sink inputs using the secondary 5V output of the power supply. The configuration ended up being very similar to the schematic S14974.DWG. These drives are not enabled by default and need to be sunk down to work.
So, I managed to get one axis to work in both directions, which I'll call a success. The other two are just cut and paste now.
I will document the schematic based on these specific drives and post it back to this thread.
Thanks to everyone for your precious help.

Hello Daniel,
Glad you got one of the drives working! You're well on your way to having the machine up and running now.
We're happy to help!
