    Re: Anyone considering the centroid Acorn instead of path pilot?

    I can't believe it has been two years since I brought up this question. I recently bought an acorn and will be starting the install next week. I need to order a db25 breakout board then I can get started. I also ordered a Drewtronics probe so I'll see how that works out also. If anyone is interested I'll post the results. It looks like it will not be too difficult of an install.

    Looking forward to seeing how this comes along. I guess Novakon is no longer pursuing the Acorn controller. I just ordered a 7I92 Mesa board so that I could install and test some of the QtPyVCP Virtual Control Panels some of the guys over at Linux CNC have been working on.

    My mistake, Novakon was pursing the UCCNC ETH-400 not the Acorn controller.
