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...
Hello Everyone, I am trying to get CNCPro setup. I can get motors to run fine. I am using inches. The DRO doesn't read the actual distance I move. I am using...
Larry, I'm confused too, but then I was born that way (?). Are you running a Sherline mill? Steps per inch calibration: (assuming direct motor drive) (20 TPI)...
Rich, Thanks for info. No Sherline, I have a router I built from Rockcliff plan. I had steps set for 8000, but accel was wrong. I'll try new accel and let you...
Hi Larry and all, I had the same confusion when I set up my mill. I made up an Excel spreadsheet that helped. I resorted to timing the stepper motor revs with...
al, et al, (I've been waiting years to say that :-) I am in the process of converting another machine. DM2400. When it came time to "time" it, I stuck an...
Hi Has anyone amended the code so as to use a bi-phase output(A/B) instead of Step/dir? Are they willing to pass it on? Regards Roland [Non-text portions of...
Hi to all, I have been working on this Lathe conversion to CNC in between writing programs. There are pictures at: http://www.cad2gcode.com/cncprojects/ Hope...
... No. The best thing to do is to make sure the steps/inch is the same for both axes (i.e., same stepper specs, same leadscrew pitch, same reduction) and then...
md (?) CNCPro has little to with it. This program sends step and direction pulses to motor "drivers" such as Xylotex driver boards. To add a second motor to an...
I get it. I am trying to drive a CNC foam cutter. Each axis has 2 steppers that must drive the hot wire at an exact same rate. I guess the approach to this...
I think you've misinterpreted what people are saying. I'm pretty sure that they're telling you to do it in hardware not software. Say you have 4 driver boards,...
Drew, Fire up CncPro and goto Set-up (alt-S) and you define which pins are used. Depending on your computer and drivers you are using you might need a buffer...
I have my 0,0,0 located in the bottom right corner of my machine. I would like this to me in my left bottom corner. How can I switch this in CNCpro?...
md, if you are wanting to change the position display reading, jog the spindle center to the wanted position, hit key Z then X or Y and enter the new position...
Hey guys, I spent time today looking over the Help Notes and made a few clarifications, fixed typos and added some additional material. Look in the Files area...
md, this was explained recently. If you mean 2 each on a single axis control and 2 on another. The PC par port signal is split out to the two motor drivers for...
Why not do it with the hardware? Send the same signal to two of the stepper drivers? Tom ... From: CNCPro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CNCPro@yahoogroups.com]On...
RichD, I read in another forum splitting the step and dir signals was very difficult to achieve. Even the cable lenghts had to be exactly the same and...
mxd, HaHa !!!! Don't believe everything you read on the net. Unless your drivers are miles apart it won't make any difference. You will have to buffer/boost...
Huh? Set the 4th CNCPro axis to "Follow" one of the others, forget which label, eitehr A or W defines this. No need to split the port, it's already defined....
Hi all, nearly finished building the small 3-axis PCB router that I am building and would like to use CNCPro as the main system but getting confused over...
Gus, Correct answer is None of the above. Doug Yeager (original author) released the program and source as Public Domain. Look in the files for an unlocked...
It is now FREE as it has been put in the public domain , you can download it from the files section . -- Ron Kline American Precision Ceramics .. (Industrial...
Hi. With CNCPro being open, has anyone modified the code to support phase drive? And be willing to post it? I'm using Turbocnc at the moment, and would like to...
