Acorn + Clearpath CNC Control Box Bench Test and Overview

Today, we're doing a bench test and deep dive into the Acorn and Clearpath servo control box for my new CNC build. We'll look at the design and layout of the box, power supplies, and wire routing, and finally power it all up and do some bench testing.

00:00 Intro
01:19 Acorn and Ether1616 Controllers
03:03 Clearpath Interface
05:29 Layout and Wire Routing
15:49 Power Domains
20:10 Flyback Diodes and Snubbers
21:51 Control PC
24:53 Wireless MPG Pendant
26:07 Connecting Everything
27:19 Servo Brake
29:21 Bench Test: Motors and Brake
32:53 I/O Configuration
34:58 Bench Test: Pneumatics and Dust Collection
35:50 Bench Test: Servo Fault
37:02 Wrap

I'm going to attempt to list all of the major components here, by source, but I'll certainly miss something:
