Hey guys, got a arrow 500, I brought 2 years ago, wasn't running then, and the machine had been sitting for 8 years prior to that, the machine is in mint condition, hardly been used. Anyway I fired it up today and and it said battery memory failure, the screen displayed press any key to continue, so I did that and nothing happened, I removed the batteries, and they had leaked everywhere.
I've been using my little tormach for many years and like the mach3 system, ease of tool setting, digitising etc etc, plus I know it of the back of my hand,
can I retrofit the arrow 500 to run mach3, I was reading through the mach3 config, and got to details about the servo's, as far as I'm aware the arrow 500 has ac servos they're dutymax ms servos 115msa040200ag
What's your opinion guys, I want the tool changer to work, can it be done
