    Re: Wanted: X-Y axis servo motor

    Well, I swapped the armature leads around at the terminal block in the electrical cabinet, and now she’s working. Those two were the only wires cut and reconnected when I removed the motor. Colors...

    Re: Following Error Adjustment On Acroloop Card

    Update: Seems I've got it figured out. I ended up following the ACR1000 acroloop manual to set the pots in the cardcage, then made adjustments to the Glentek drive pots.
    Quick walkthrough if anyone...

    Re: Following Error Adjustment On Acroloop Card

    Yup, that’s what I followed when I originally set the machine up.
  8. Re: Operating hours for Centurion 6 or 7 control

    An hour meter was optional, it would be wired and installed on the side of the electrical panel. If that’s not present there’s really no way to know.

    Following Error Adjustment On Acroloop Card

    Recently replaced my original cardcage with one that already had an SBC update. This new cage also had newer ver2.54 acroloop cards.

    Prior to this swap I had the following error adjusted to .05...

    Re: No Spindle Speed Display After Update

    Turned out to be a dumb mistake. My machine doesn’t have a spindle encoder, but the Spindle Encoder PPU 1 was set to 2000. Changed it to 0 and now she works like before.

    No Spindle Speed Display After Update

    I finally got around to installing an updated Cent V -b control I picked up awhile ago. It already has an SBC upgrade running 5.305 software and v2.54 acroloop cards.

    However, now whether the...

    Re: milltronics centurion 7 - Startup error 188

    You want that topmost error code, error 956.

    In the Cent7 manual:

    188 Also appears as error 956.
    Interface card communication failure
    Centurion 7 and 7000 Series only

  13. Re: Setup Centurion 7 controller as offline trainer/simulator?

    Turns out there's no need to add any jumpers on the board to make this work. A simple edit to the autoexec.bat file will allow the control to work independently.

    Going through the troubleshooting...
  14. Re: Setup Centurion 7 controller as offline trainer/simulator?

    Well I managed to find one jumper position that allows the control to initialize and load the CNC program.

    However, I am unable to make/edit or load any new programs (buttons greyed out) and I...
  15. Setup Centurion 7 controller as offline trainer/simulator?

    Long story short, I have access to a Cent7 control panel that was taken off of a VM15-30. I was wondering if it would be possible to use it as an offline trainer/simulator.
    Currently I’m able to...

    Re: Setting work offsets

    On my control setting that parameter byte turns on/off the G54-Z tab in HDW.
    It’s possible that wasn’t an option until the latter software versions (mine is x.305) or possibly not available on the...

  18. Re: Add tool setting probe to Milltronics Centurion 7 knee mill???

    Well I was wrong about P899 enabling the PROBE1 and PROBE2 commands.

    P899 enables the PROBE and PROBE XY pages (Menu-F10Util) used with Digiscan 2.

    Trying the PROBE1 command gives me a error...
  19. Re: Add tool setting probe to Milltronics Centurion 7 knee mill???

    According to the Centurion manual, P899 is to enable digitizing/probe. No idea what number it needs to be set to since 1 and 0 aren’t the regular on/off for that parameter. But if you figure it out...
  20. Re: Milltronics with a full hot swap UPS thumb drive.

    I'm curious if the key words to making this work is Intel, and UHCI.

    This I’m interested in. I just started getting into 3d printing and looking into Raspberry Pi and Octoprint to send files and control the printer. Then I thought hey, I wonder if Pi could hook up to...
  22. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    I did in fact add a jump wire for the -12v trace and I was able to run the mill without a hitch. I should be able to make some chips while I piece together a SBC for this thing after all. Thanks to...
  23. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    Well, I believe I found the problem. Looks like the -12v trace on the board is corroded to hell from that CMOS battery leak. Probing for continuity from the ATX power header to the -12v pin on the...
  24. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    I did have the card cage out last fall to clean the card fingers and replace the CMOS battery. I can’t remember if I cleaned the card slots themselves though. I’ll try that again and reseat...

    Well, turns out I was wrong, that didn’t help my runaway. Back to square one again.
  26. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

  27. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    Been awhile since I messed with this. Thought I had the 3-axis runaway figured out, but apparently not. After sitting a couple months its back. So I cleaned the plugs going to the Glentek boards...
  28. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    Been awhile, but the run away issue has been fixed for a couple months. But with the cold I haven't been out in the garage much to play around with this.

    Anyways, the axis run away seems to have...
  29. Re: Partner 1F w/ Centurion V first start up problems

    I'll try cleaning the tachs better, I just simply blew out the carbon dust the first time I was in there. Leaning over into the enclosure to clean them is a bit of a pain.

    Now say one of the axis...
