As I mentioned on the forum, All in One DC would be better. Price out the motors and drives if you can find them in NEMA 42 frame. I think that's what you have.
Hello Marty I saw an older video of yours. Bridgeport Torq cut that you hooked up single phase power to I recently purchased one and was hoping that you would guide me on how I would be able to hook mine up single phase
It is dependent on the switch you have. There is a Centroid Schematic for connecting them. Also make sure you got NPN not PNP. Hit the Centroid Users Forum for more help. You can search for Proximity
Hi Joe, thanks for the concern. I've been knee deep in my other passion, building hot rods... Working on a 1950 Chevy COE right now. Will be my car hauler
@@martyscncgarage5275 Well-I am very glad to hear that you are doing okay and that you are spending your time on other passions! If you build a hot rod like you build a CNC machine - Look out! I have a Brother TC-215 with a 10 tool ATC that I'd like to convert to G-code.. I'm going to have to re-watch a bunch of your videos.
hey Marty, do you have any videos on hooking up the dmm dyn4 to a MB3+ESS, I just ordered a set of the dmm dyn4/750watt servos and wanted to get my self ready for getting a new control enclosure going and your videos are so much help! Thank you for all you do!
@@martyscncgarage5275 no worries! Your videos still taught me a lot! I look forward to the DMM servos, while I have your ear, what is your opinion on DMM vs Clearpath if you wouldn't mind sharing

Hi Marty I thinked in upgrading my Fadal 2016L to Centroid OKA, if do you can help me with some info? I saw a video where you did one Fadal Thank you Wagner Damotta
Hey Marty, this was very helpful. Just a quick question: Did you enter the software travel limtis based on a measure or did CNC12 do that itself based on the homing?

Thank you for your videos very helpful I got a question about homing and limit
Can I use the same switches to do both for homing and limits ?
Yes.
Set the as home/limit in the wizard
superb video, thank you for the help.
can you just clarify how to connect the 3 wires on the proximity switch please

Where have you been Marty? Bring back the TH-cam videos!

Does centroid allow for multiple homes you can choose?
Homing a machine sets the machine datum. You can create multiple work coordinates.
What are you trying to accomplish?

Sorry no. I only work with Centroid Acorn and Centroid's other motion controllers

Post your questions to the Centroid Users Oak forum. I can not provide one on one support.
what is the wiring scematic when using prox switched nc thanks marty
That has been discussed on the Centroid Users forum. Go there and search NPN proximity
Also, what does your sensor cut sheet say for wiring of the sensor?
Hey Marty, this was very helpful. Just a quick question: Did you enter the software travel limtis based on a measure or did CNC12 do that itself based on the homing?
No you have to tell CNC12 what the travel limits are of your machine.
@@martyscncgarage5275 what kind of switches did you use?
@@janvirbrar4181 all depends on the machine. Normally closed quality micro switches or Normally Closed NPN proximity sensors
@@martyscncgarage5275 Sounds great, thanks marty!
@@martyscncgarage5275 For a 2x2 router, which would you use?
