Hi, i'm new to this group, and i'm not a computer geek. I am hoping, answers get e mailed, because i may never find where they went! ok, I bought cnc pro back...

... It's my understanding of things that the reason this software is run under DOS and not windoze of any flavor or linux or whatever is because of the things ...
... Generally, yes IF it has PATA/EIDE drives. SATA drives can be problematic. DO NOT GET RAID! You will still need a floppy and drivers for the USB stuff,...
... In many cases the IPL device (in this case FLASH/USB) can really hurt timing but can load into a RAMDISK and be run from there. Microsoft did that as part...
I have one of those IDE to CF adapters. I haven't tried it yet but one of our members is using his with turbo cnc, apparently without problems. The name on the...

I have an IDE CF card adapter. I had some problems with it in the beginning due to flaky solder joints. Resoldered it all and it work perfectly. Many run hours...
Yes, I have one and used it successfully with TurboCNC (plugged the CF card adapter right into the cable where 'C' drive would be). I took it one step further...
Hi All, Have a question for those in the know. I have completed a custom build and have wired the limit switches using some spare 20g speaker cable. When I set...
Yes, you are probably running logic level signal through the limit switches, which is a VERY small signal. the signal is so small, it don't make it through the...
... Did you check the sense of the limit switches? Your problem might be how TurboCNC has your limits configured. Are your limit switches running directly to...
Duh, yes, shielding the signal wires would be great! I probably would not shield the stepper motor lines, at least not in the same cable. Sorry, what you...
I tried turbocnc, and had problems with limit switches a search of the group turned up 1000+ questions on limit switches that is why I use cncpro, it works...
