There might be other stuff too thats aimed for routers but i think they arent bound to (waiting for) the router-version of the software as they are smaller(less noticable) additions. This will give another 16 inputs and 16 outputs to the acorn.ДЄfter that a maintenance release and then the router version wich is from what i could find just visuals as in router specific icons on the virtual control panel.

The roadmap i think might have already changed a bit and pushed along 1 step so next release(current is 4.18) will probably be support for a new expansion card.

The info was buried in various threads so ill summerize it here for anyone else looking to find it.Д¤.16 Maintenance release, has new Update Wizard so you don't have to type in all the config values.Д¤.22 User editable VCP and router version Hope this answers some of your questions and I hope you post some pictures and videos if you decide to use their controller. If you have any other questions sign up for their forum and ask away, the guys are very helpful and there are some very experienced router guys that can help you out like they did for me. They also listed the dimensions as well as some info on it you just have to search the forum and for the info. Depending on your machine you might not need the expansion board and even if you do it can easily be added when it's released just leave room for it in your enclosure. They tend to spend a good amount of time testing prior to release from what I've seen and don't like to rush things to market. Now that you reminded me, I think I'll start a thread and see if I can get some of these questions answered if you don't beat me to it.ДЇor the expansion board they said the hardware is done and have posted pictures of the board and have said that the software is just being finalized. He does list some of the things that will be added to make it more router specific, but I don't remember everything off hand and it don't want to guess since I don't remember all the new features. I'm not 100 percent sure exactly what all the features will be since I don't believe it's finished yet.

The one of the big differences will be as far as I can tell that the VCP will be more router specific and I believe the AUX button graphics will be editable. I believe that the router version was to be slated for V4.22 but don't quote me on this I'm going off of memory. When I bought my Acorn they were on V4.12 and now we're on V4.18 so they have had two updates since my purchase and the next update will be V4.20 so it appears they go by two's for some reason. The one thing he doesn't do is give dates for the updates so you just need to be patient but know that they are coming. I'm yet to see anyone running the controller on their router that isn't happy with it.ДЄs for the router version I don't know exactly when the update will be released, but Keith from Centroid has posted screen shots as well as some of the features he also listed the up coming updates with release notes. Sign up and check out the forum, I have a build thread for my router on there with a lot of info and answers to questions I had as someone new to cnc and Centroid. Some of the guys have even shared their custom profiles it might have been Slodat, but I don't remember for sure but there is a thread that they were discussing it in. For example you can make adjustments for 3d toolpaths and fine tune the motion to best suit your needs. It's customizable and you can save different profiles depending on the type of work you're doing. The s-curve I'm not entirely sure what that is, but I'm thinking on CNC12 the smoothing feature is what you are looking for. Guess ill register an account and ask.Search the Acorn section of the forum, like slodat I've been using it on my router since around the first of the year and it works great on my router. Yea Ivve looked everywhere on there but found nothing at all.
