Hi all I've got Turb.. set up and playing with a single stepper. I notice that under some Motion Parameters I get; "Runtime error 200 at 0006:3258" Anyone know...
... Hi, Roland: If I recall correctly, this error means "divide by zero." Can I assume that TurboCNC starts executing properly and fails only when you navigate...
... The confusing part was I could set up paramteres and move the motor with MDI, but as soon as I tried to jog it, the prog crashed. Since then I've entered...
Hello all, glad to be here. My ? is this. How can I get cncpro to run on a new pc that is using windows xp pro for an operating system. I had no idea that i...
The best answer is still a lousy answer; pop CNCPro onto a DOS bootable floppy. Personally, I typically partition the hard drive, install DOS/Win98 on the C ...
... Does your machine have a parallel printer port? If it does, you have several choices. You can partition your hard drive to make one partition a FAT32...
Hi Can you tell me if the X & Y axis ratio have to be the same for circular interpolation (G02 & G03) to work correctly. Thanks for the help Regards Trevor...
... Hi, Trevor: Best to check it out yourself, but I'd expect that the arcs should work correctly with different leadscrew TPI, which is what I think you're...
... I'm sure no one has, for the simple reason that it's not enough to simply recompile the program itself, something else would have to be done to the Linux...
Works fine with completely dissimilar leadscrews. You define the steps per inch for each axis in the configuration and CNCPro figures it out at run time. Alan ...
Alan, I've been running my DOS computers with the network always enabled with out problems for years without noticing damage to the pulse train. Granted they...
... the ... work ... you're asking. ... Thanks for the help Jerry Yes I do have different TPI leadscrews and I read that this is a problem with cnczeus. if its...
Thanks for the help. I read that the ratio must be the same on CNCZEUS When my machine is finished (its close) I now know what I will use to control it. ...
I have to admit that when I had a Novell server in the middle, and using IPX/SPX, I noticed no disruption. But changing to a Windows server and using the...
Alan, Don't know about Win2k but it is on my XP pro install disk. Usually the biggest problem is finding mswgcn.exe on microsofts site, it was there the last...
I believe that it is a problem with Cnczeus, only if your doing 3D stuff. Victor ... From: bty6649956 To: CNCPro@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 22,...
... Thanks for this. When I have a chance, I'll have a look. My current scheme, while seemingly convoluted, does work. I simply turn the computer on, putter...
ALL schemes in the end are convoluted. I end up doing two flights of stairs for even a minor g-code edit; familiar tools and no re-boot. Any chance the pcb...
(maybe I've posted this already..) Hi What I think would be a good idea is for the interpreter to look at each line of G-code, and if it's not a step/motor...
Hi What I think would be a good idea is for the interpreter to look at each line of G-code, and if it's not a step/motor command, then mirror the text to the...

Hi Oop, my apologies. I only read Jeffs' reply and did not see that Alan already had the idea that I expanded on. Guess I'm dork of the day! Regards Roland ......
Hi Roland, That's not a bad idea. Take it a little further, the interpreter could echo the comment lines to the serial port. Or create a new token like the...
Hi Just send everything to the serial port. It's not like it's going to slow things down. This's surely the easiest mod to the program. Probable two lines of...
... Hmm, interesting. That's more or less what I had in mind, a PIC reading a BYTE out of a serial port, that byte ultimately representing a value from 0v to...

I noticed everytime I start CNCpro, it starts with the X,Y,Z in its last position traveled by motors. How can I reset the X,Y,Z to zero instead of jogging the...
That was requested by the users. A nice feature. If you have to leave the program for any reason and the machine is turned off (motor drivers), everything will...
