Pictures added in the photos section of this board under "Items made with CNC Pro". Trevor, very nice looking router you built. Is that a right angle gear box...
John, Thanks for the complement. I think the drive you are talking about is the lump at the front that drives the gantry from under the table. I say this as I...
John, Not the "M" Move function. "Z" function where you adjust the program origins. After using the program for a while and jogging a lot to reset origin, etc,...
John, I had no idea the preferred override was to be in effect regardless of additional F words until the end of the program in CNCPro. No one has mentioned it...
Regarding the issue with the z function. It is not necessary to reboot to regain use of this function. That is the good news. The bad news is I can't remember...
Ok, I did a search on the old Yeagerautomation site and did find a post that I sent to Doug Yeager in 2002. Just push the shift key and the z function is...
Carey, this news is great and just by chance I accidently hit at keys yesterday out of frustration when another bug popped up. When you halt a program with the...
Here is a little info on the program as I've been using it some. I was using Al's version because I liked the changes that he made. However, I think that due...
This IS the long-known keyboard lockup problem, which will cause CNCPro to NOT see certain keystrokes. It manifests itself when one does a lot of jogging. I...
Apparently not all keyboards responded to the same fix. In my case I found (quite by accident) that I could regain control of the numeric keypad by turning...
... Does Doug's original version have the same problem ? (I have no way to test this myself right now). Alan -- Alan Rothenbush Academic Computing Services ...
Well, I don't think so. The file I compiled has C and H files dated no later than 5-4-2002 and obj files dated 4-19-2003. I did not use the obj files as I had...
Thanks for the detailed reply; I'll have a look at things. However, if you've read any of my previous posts to this group, you'll see that I'm not a C...
... I would have said X axis but I didn't know if thats what you called it. Have any problems with backlash in the gears? Having handwheels on the steppers is...
... I have no problem with using the F & S keys (I have dedicated buttons) Its just that the override is not "sticky",it always reverts to 100% or the...
it ... have ... and ... arrow ... I'm using Al's version and have not had this problem, but my jog keys are configured exactly the way they were under Doug's...
Okay, I did more experimentation with both versions. Al's version glitches out when you hit a limit during any move, jogging or G-code execution. The glitch...
I understand that you aren't a C programmer from reading some of your past posts. However, you are light years ahead of me since much of it reads like greek. I...
Shane, Yes, I do manual tool changes which allow for jogs to fit the new tool using both CncPro and TurboCnc. But the trick is in setting the cam post not the...
Shane, MeshCam post for my CncPro XYZ mill I'd have to took at the manuals to figure out the details and just what i did but it has worked for me for a few...
Does anyone have a feel for what pulse rate constant contouring starts to crap out? Or does it actually work? As I understand it constant contouring is a...
Rich, My programs are all little linear moves, I leave CC on by default but suspect that it does little. Long cuts are fast, curves with lost of little ...
I've been trying to figure out what's up with the max step rate on CNCPro. I'm using Al's vesion downloaded from Yahoo. When I try it out on an old laptop I've...
Hi Jeff, OK, thanks. I use a 400MHz Dell LS400 laptop that works great, but even down to 15 IPM withh CC on there was always a spot in a program where I got a...
Rich, Check config.sys for himem.sys and emm386.exe. Should at least be commented out. Good general practice but not always necessary. I've had teeth marks...
Hi all, I have had a problem with my Z axis missing steps when using CC. I though my drive gears were sticking (using worm and worm wheel Z axis)and so fitted...
I agree with the issue. I have Zeus running on the same puter and it will do 8 microsteps at 50 IPM with 20 pitch screws whereas Pro will only do half-stepping...
