Re: SIEG C6 Retrofit [Ongoing]
I have the Acorn board, a W10 PC and 23" touchscreen monitor all working together nicely on the Acorn "bench test." I bought it for a new fixed gantry mill I am building with plans to buy another one for the lathe at a later date. The mill is months away from needing motion control but I'm so excited about its use of a REAL encoder that I decided to try it on the lathe first. The CNC12 lathe software is in beta right now & is about to come out for the rest of us this week. It is the same software they've had for years updated for W10 & a touchscreen. I will post how I get along with it when I can. Unfortunately, I have to work for a living & don't have time to jump on this & do it RIGHT NOW! like my childish side wants.
Here's a taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWLhB4Kiuq8 Yes, Acorn is new but to me, it looks like it's a far superior product.
