I have a copy of the CNC PRO which Yeagerautomation sent me before they dissappeared. There are license files which takes the software out of Demo mode, they ...
I was wondering if I could use CNCPro to control an old Denford Starturn8? It has a parallel port and not the ribbon style connection to the computer. I am not...
I have looked at that. My Starturn is a late 1987 machine. Only has a serial port on the back to connect to the computer. I have found in the Denford site the...
Wow- Thanks to Mr. Yeager. That's an act of kindness. Open source CNC. Questions I have are concerning sizing steppers motors and thier control boards. Best...
Olean, I would wholehartedly recomend to you a servo based system rather than stepper based system. Check out AnaheimAutomation's BLDC motors. Approximately...
Dude, I read one of the replies to you, and looked at those $50 servomotors. I don't think they are servo motors, they look like open winding DC motors, that...
Great information. Thank both you guys for writing. You both took alot of time to explain this. I know servos are better CNC's because of the feedback...
Back when I was planning the cncing of my machine, I was advised by several to "loose" the hand wheels from several aspects. First off, using ball screws means...
No comment on the stepper vs servo question, nothing in my shop even comes close to needing servos. On the question of hand wheels I only have them on 1...
I know this is a CNCPro forum but, if you want the best of both worlds (CNC and manual), opt for a software that has handwheel input (I mean working handwheel...
Rich, OK, very senior moment! Should have been lose (as in get rid of!) I fat fingered it and didn't catch it. Yep, they do work better loose. Make a lot of...
Do you think they meant loose in sense to mean lost, forget them in the design? I do not know if I explained that correctly. Theyshould have said" leave them...
Dude, Pay attention... those 50 dollar motors ARE servo motors. I have then running on my machine driving NSK ball screws with RENISHAW 5 micron linear scales....
First we must establish your power requirements. How big is your machine? The $50 BLDC motors (BLY171S) from Anaheim Automation are nema 17 and rated at 42W...
Hey Friend, I see you got a lot of good info. I have worked with many new cnc users, And in the 90's, I did MANY training sessions for new cnc users for many...
BLWR235D were about 50 USD and are rated at 180W at 4000 RPM.and 36V. Four times the power of BLY model you came accross. I am drivng a 5 mm pitch lead screw...
Current advertised price on that motor is $103.60 for less-than-50 quantity. Still, that's not a bad price. Who sells a low cost S/D drive for BLDC motors? ...
Hi, I'm new to CNCPro and I did a quick search through the Messages and couldn't find anything. My problem is that the program crashes when I try to execute...
Could be the first problem is that CNCPro is a DOS program. You must boot to pure dos in order to run it and do anything. Windows has to much overhead to run...
Here is a link to CNC Teknix. No commercial ties with them. http://cncteknix.com/portal/content/view/77/146/ Last known price ( 21 November 2008 ) AUD$155.00 ...
So I shut down windows and choose to restart in DOS and saw the same results. It's a fairly old computer only 400-500 Mhz. Although I figured it would be...
... Most likely, you're over running a buffer and causing CNCPro to attempt to execute data. Just slow down on the rate that you push the jog keys and you'll...
Booting in DOS is not the same as shutting down Windows and rebooting in DOS. You need to boot the machine from the beginning in DOS. No Windows load at all. ...
If memory serves me ( no pun intended) The dos config.sys file contained a number of lines which might be necesary to get the software to run correctly There...
Hi Guys, Does anyone have a link where I can download CNCPro? I have heard that it is now open source. Is that true? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, ...
