does acorn have modbus? thats the only way id buy one- as its limited io wouldnt be any good for any of my projects.
i could do with something nice for my lathe. otherwise it will have to be done with uccnc.. but that doesnt have a gui for lathe. (unless ger wants to make one :-) )

Nope, dont think so. Some discussions about Modbus on the forums (and extender cards). It has its own PLC language, so assume you could do the same but new language.
It might be worth adding your voice to the forum, they do respond to requests.

I've heard that they'll be adding more I/O at some point, probably an add-on card?
Sorry, no lathe screenset any time soon. (soon being at least 5 years)Gerry

drat- i had £20 to give to you for the screen :-) . the trouble is with the uccnc developers- they do everything so good that you cant nag and rush them. - even though we try!

This might be worth a quick read:-

i really dont want to learn another language to add to the confusion.
i still mix up old mach3 cb when im writing in c# which causes me all sorts of grief!
took me over a week to write and perfect the tool change macro for the triac (when i say perfect- i mean so it works as i want and checks itself throughout). c# is very finiky and likes everything just so. - it took me a day and a bit to write one line of code so the macro will idle if in feedhold!
