I've been using Pro for a bit now and it has been flawless in operation on my Taig mill. I do have a question about rapid (G00) speed, though. I set the...
Tracy, you do understand that your max rapid (G00) is the max velocity setting for a given axis? The G-code program has no control over the actual speed. On...
Tracy, if you set the max rapid for X, Y and Z to 25 IPM and then command a G00 command for example from X0, Y0 , Z0 to X1, Y1, Z1, (the opposite corners of a...
... The velocity along the cut can be higher than either axis. If X and Y each move at one unit per minute feed the diagonal path is 1.414 times as long so the...
... Actually, it is simple trig. Moving at 25 IPM in the X axis and 25 IPM in the Y axis results in SQRT(25^2 + 25^2) or 35.355 IPM diagonally. You could be...
Thanks for the responses. I knew if I asked someone would have an answer and I got several. I do understand the "vector speed" verses actual axis speed. It...
... You're executing a move with each motor moving, so the actual velocity that the tool is moving is the square root of the sum of the squares of the X and Y...
Actually, if moving in three dimensions you get 43IPM (25*sqrt(3) which is approx. 43.3013), no computational error involved. ... From: CNCPro@yahoogroups.com...
Ron, thanks for the info. You learn something everyday. Great to hear that the program actually indicates the real velocity sums. RichD ... If X and Y ... ...
hello, because i want improve the cncpro sources, i have some questions: - do you use it with dos or windows ? - what type of improvements do you want ? -...
... DOS only. CNCPro will not produce a robust step pulse stream if run within a DOS box under Windows 3.x or 9x. It simply will not generate any external step...
Thanks for the response, <cut> The driver to run it inside W9x and 2K is not a problem. ... Possible, currently not in schedule. If really requested, then ...
What I do is use an older computer with Win98SE installed. This does DOS perfectly and gives you the advantages of windows for file handling. CncPro is run in...
Hi scx; You will find that most of us use cncpro specifically because it runs under dos and not windows. Cncpro's appeal is it's simplicity. Unfortunately, the...
The agenda and registration info is now on line for this years CNC workshop. The workshop is June 16-21 in Galesburg IL. This is an international event, with...
Not everyone agrees with Jerry's view on the user interface. I *love* the CNCPRO one, and every time I put Turbo onto someone's machine, I ended up changing...
Win95 and Win98se boxes set up to dual boot with DOS as the default. I boot windows every 6 months just to be sure it still works. A DOS network handles the...
... Agreed, run dual boot, boot Win98 once in a while to remind yourself that you can, but mostly run DOS with the MS Networking installed. ... In my...
Alan, I trust that you have removed all of the extra MS crap on boot (himem and emm386). CncPro will run well even with these installed until you really crank...
Jeff; Thanks for the reply. Yes, I go for a totally stripped config and like you I always derate the max speed just in case. It's a hobby, not a business; I...
Alan, I do it as a business (really small) and trying to save a few seconds usually cost hours. Mainly one off pieces, it might pay to push the limits if there...
... runs ... efforts ... Currently, my idea was to build a really simple thing, like the zeus main interface and using a simple handedited .ini file in order...
I'll second that. Several other things about the Turbo interface truly grate on me. I think it needs a lot of work. CNC Pro is hands down better than Turbo and...
You can even set it up for ALWAYS booting from dos in '98. change the attributes of msdos.sys attrib msdos.sys -h -r Then edit same (using notepad etc.)...
Hi Chris Have you considered amending and compiling the code to an embedded processor, like a Pic. That way you can send the gcode via 485/usb/Lan. Essentially...
... I'm curious whether or not anyone's tried to port the engine's code over to something like a Rabbit and then just use a PC to provide the interface and...
... Yes, it´s the real project, the pc side is just a intermediate step. Unfortunatly i realize, that i must rewrite the gcode interpreter from scratch,...
... We discussed this back when the code was first released. The problem remains that the code is undocumented and therefore difficult to modify. When the...
Hello, i need some Alpha tester for the SW. If someone of the list are willing to help, please e-mail me directly. Further i want initiate a discussion on the...
