Yeah i saw that when i visited the page again. Sometimes i think i'm having a senior moment. Sure i can start a new thread to document this change. Keep in mind in one of Jake's post above that the wire numbers may not be the same. I can't imagine them making these machines and not keeping the wiring numbers consistent for like machines. But it's good to know. So i'll also go thru and post what i'm going to do on the Centroid thread to be sure that they are all in agreement. I don't want to fry anything by making a mistake.

You obviously don't deal with low end Chinese manufacturing on a daily basis
. These things are defiantly a big step above some of the Alibaba equipment that I've worked on, but it still wouldn't surprise me at all if they were not wired the same.PZ
A Great listen !!! Thanks!!!
Always cool to hear some history about what appears to be a really good company. Keith sounds like a legit guy trying to fill a need and it appears he’s done it. The Masso is in a similar vein, so having these guys compete for a great , all, or nearly all in one solution is pretty cool and good for entrepreneurs, startups , and hobbyists alike.
I ordered an Acorn and look forward to converting from LinuxCNC. I just hope the usb MPG becomes a reality very soon !

Looks good !
Yeah, Linux cnc / 7176e was a hard road. My desire to use path pilot was why I went for the 7176e and Linuxcnc. After the minimum install of Linux cnc and wiring the 7176e it was apparent I was in over my head and fear it ever needing rebuilding, much less getting path pilot to work. I was going to offer to sell my working LinuxCNC 7176e setup to you if you really wanted to go down that path but your too far down the rabbit hole already ! I will say, after you get it going, it feels like you have done something amazing ! Hope you can keep at it and reach the summit , so to speak.
