Can an Acorn be run from a laptop?

Baby steps....we'll get you there. If Dickeybird can do it anyone can!

Hey, I resemble that remark!

The set up and all looks very straight forward.
I was looking thru the options with the wizard even though I dont possess the Acorn yet.

The 0704 is running an MX3660, (2) 570 oz 23's and a 960 oz 34. It has limit switches on all axis' etc.

In regards to the other DM project going on. I wonder if he or she is attempting bidirectional tool changes? The turret is able to do it if you power the pawl. In the past everyone has been unidirectional.
I wonder if I can use the switches in the turret though I have no idea how they work or reference?

I really just want to move forward again. I am tired of having a small shortcoming in systems. This all looks promising.

Knock out the mill, 3 of us have DM3000's. Mine has Clearpath servos.
Yes, without question Centroid software can drive the ATC. Its a matter of programming.
We will get there...
