    Re: Novakon upgrades.

    upnorth.....thanks for the pic. I thought this thread would send me updates, but I guess not.

    I'll have to look at my cabinet and see what will be involved, physically, with installing the new components. I had the shop shutdown for 6mo or so.....I really should have done it then. lol

    Some times how you get updates are based on how long it has been since you last logged on. The install is really easy. I did make a new board to mount it on but that was because the original was quite warped. If you decide to go the acorn route I will help you as much as I can. I owe you a little because I used your video about setting up a torus pro as a guide when I set mine up. I do have a stepper version so I'm not 100% sure how similar the install is.

    I highly recommend the upgrade. Weird little glitches are now gone. I no longer cringe when jogging because axis runaways are a thing of the past now. The acorn applies tool offsets 100% of the time. CNC is more fun now.

    Does the Acorn have Wizards or Conversational Programming?
