It's the drivers, I have them too and they make steppers run smooth as silk. I'm running a Centroid Acorn controller just for reference.

Yes DB25 and no need to mess with resistors.
No idea but I would put some calipers on one and Google the size. The machines have changed a few times and who knows if all the zerk fittings are the same.
X2 on thank you for being more clear! You had me worried for a minute there that you were full of it lol.
Looking forward to what you have going on I'd be interested in selling my machine for a...
That company he posted website says it's a Chinese company, so unless he's from China is Chinese and lives there it's not likely that he owns the company. Maybe he will clarify his position with the...
Yes I have no affiliation with anyone in the cnc industry. I just got into the "hobby" market about a year ago when I needed something for the home shop. I personally looked at everything available...
No just normal updates it's something wrong with the forum. I'll check out your YouTube channel and let you know what I think.
Thanks
Hey David do you know why the link doesn't work right on my mobile device? I've been having a problem for a while now with cnczone not working the way it used to on my mobile devices. Have you...
Thanks Gary and from what I can see it looks really nice. I cringed when I sat down and totaled everything up, there was so much in odds and ends that I didn't factor in orginally. I finally got a...
Oh man I bet it gets chilly in Iowa we complain when it's in the 50's. But I'm sure you guys would say the same when it's 115 out here in the summer.
Hey Gary are you going to post pictures of the finished machine? I wanted to see how all your hard work turned out. How did it wind up budget wise,were you close to your target?
If you are talking about the Acorn it has a 0-10v analog on the board.
You will get better information on Centroid forum. But yes the expansion board is coming soon, it's in beta right now. You can already run a tool changer, but I personally don't have one or know...
Here's another one I just did, they are getting better I think. There's also a close up so you can see there's some depth to the machining.
Thanks
Hey Jack just wanted to let you know I ran a couple different photo carve pieces. I posted them on my thread if you want to check it out. Thanks again for the info and for the inspiration. I just...
I'll play around with the settings, maybe I don't have the rapids set right in vcarve. How do you like the parts I posted? Wasn't really asking for any help with Vcarve but thanks for the info...
It's not laser engraving it's done with a v bit and vcarve has some settings you enter to get the desired look you want. I'll take a close up photo so you can see that there is depth to the image....
Yep I can't imagine how much we spent at the local arcade. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have a Xbox back in the late 80s. Definitely post some pictures of the finished machine I...
Are you using the Raspberry for the games? I recently saw something similar that a guy made running on Raspberry. Pretty cool what can be done at home these days, I wish I was a kid again lol. The...
Thanks David, it was done with just a Whiteside 60degree 1/4" vbit and it was about 2.5 hrs. The material is just under 24"x36" Vcarve estimated time was 3 hrs, but Centroid is always faster than the...
Just wanted to post a photo carve I just did. Thanks again for the inspiration Jack I used the new vcarve pro photo carve tool path. I really like the new feature on vcarve, it's not as cool as...
Thank you for all the detailed information Jack! I'm going to try it out soon, had a pipe leak in the wall that I'm dealing with in the garage/home shop. Fun stuff let me tell you. Anyway with any...
Hey Jack I have a question, what kind of material did you use for the photo you routed? Did you just paint it to get the two tone or is it something that is made that way. Also did you use Vectric...
Have you tried asking this question on the Centroid forum? I don't understand what you are trying to do, but I'm sure if you asked this question on their forum you will get a answer pretty quickly....
Did you try calling Leadshine? I had questions when I ordered my motors and gave them a call and talked to the tech for over a hour. He was very helpful and I had no problem getting ahold of them by...
Search the Acorn section of the forum, like slodat I've been using it on my router since around the first of the year and it works great on my router.
The s-curve I'm not entirely sure what that...
I think for the 1500 take the machine apart and start calling around to local shops and have a good shop look into fixing the frame or if it's more cost-effective weld you up a new one and have the...
How am I attacking anyone or being disrespectful in anyway Gerry? It's just my opinion and observation about what was written. I just pointed out that he didn't follow the instructions and the video....
I just read through the thread and I'm at a loss to why you would flame Centroid and the forum? I also highly doubt it would be deleted since all your questions were answered and it might be helpful...
