Hello everyone,
Yesterday I purchased the Acorn board. I'm new to CNC's in general and just recently built a PM25MV with 620oz Clearpath SDSK servos. Like many I defaulted to Mach3 only to get fed up spending more time troubleshooting than actually making parts
. In my search for a more commercial based software I found Centroid and their new Acorn board. Once I get the board I'll post up the results of my switch.
Here's a picture of her, admittedly a little dirty.

You will be happy with the Centroid interface.
Indeed, dirty and swarfy means they get used!
+1 on the Centroid interface (and hardware!)
