Dino: The problems just start when you decide to add a feature like this. As Dave says "Standards? - just pick one." The problem is - there are none. Stepper...
Standards, I though you just said we use this and be done with it ? Didn't the origional G-Codes of T-CNC-3 have some interesting versions ? Gecko requires...
Dave, I have the updated code on my web site for this program. Works well and also uses "quadrature" encoders. Have had one on my system for quite some time...
Folks , some years ago I put a program in archives to connect this DRO board to the PC over the network and update on a continuous basis. I think this program...

Hi Nick, IBM thinkpads monitor their power (power management) quite closely; this could be part of your problem. Try a boot disk. See if you can turn stuff ...
Dave, Thanks for the reply. I have configured my enable for Axis 1(X) to pin 14, active low, and have reset the ports and still I cannot get pin 14 to go low...
Hi Nick I have an old IBM 560E thinkpad that I use for my Taig mill. It was running the old Maxnc software and I recently upgraded to MPS2003 and the new...

Andrew I am just about to start on this road. I have ordered 2 Geckos for the X and Z and have a new VFD. I intend to use Turbocnc and am eagerly waiting now...
Yes, that is what I meant . . . the guys at DeskNCrt wrote me back, they support only Camtronics DRO board, which Camtronics is not being made anymore (however...
... The goal of a machine is to move without error. I would thing the vast majority of us have a machine, home built, that can run 1,000 lines of code and...
I was part of the beta team for turbocnc 4 for a while. Worked on it when I could. Well we finally got z on our table. We have about 6'X 4'X2'. We had been...
I'm attempting to use TurboCNC to control a 3axis mill for machining 3d surfaces in wood/metal/plastic/wax - see: www.jeffreygarman.com - I had asked the forum...
Jeff, Are you loading the g-code file into the editor or are you "running from file"? If the latter, it could be the "memory buffer" is run out at about the...

If you can load the entire file into memory, you will not be doing disk reads during the file execution! For instance on my machine, it says that I can load up...
Why did't I think of that - that sounds very familiar - I will try running it from the disk next - they are very big files - and I don't have alot of memory -...
Art, This sounds plausible but, and I have never looked at this code, the usual thing to do here is reload the entire buffer from the disk rather than go into...
David, I think we are a little confused, here, I am not having THAT problem, but was answering Jeff to the best of my ability (which might not be the best!) ...
Hi Art, I think I clicked on the wrong email to reply to.... sorry for creating even more confusion. It's been a long week and, here in North Wales, it really...
Wait a second :-! not only is my spelling ridiculously poor, apparently I wasn't paying attention either. Your saying that running it from the editor is...
Jeff, I run 98s dos and have windows installed as I use it for file transfer (thumb drive and there are no drivers for it in dos). I set mine up using TweakUI...
Jeff: I know why this is occurring, just checked the code this morning to be certain. TurboCNC resets the internal timing clock to zero at the start of each...
Hi Dave, This sounds nasty! I'm surprised it hasn't come up before! I'm not sure why the larger count values would degrade the calcs, perhaps you could...
Again - cool. I just looked over the programming extentions in turbocnc. Thought - I can make a sphere ;). I wrote a short program that used sin - cosine to...
I'm not going to have time to experiment with a remedy soon because of school and work priorities. I appreciate all of your interest in helping - but realize...
