Cengiz, One of the big advantages to using TurboCnc is that it is fully customizable! Having said that, the usual practice that I have seen and use myself it...
Hi Cengiz, As Art said the printer port is fully re-configurable. For stepper drivers there are lots of designs around but you ought do decide just how good a...

Cengiz, There are lots of schematics floating around on the web, google is your friend. http://www.dancad3d.com/ has details of a discrete component bi-level...
Hi, Dave M, others: Anyone who's coded a "specialized" version of TurboCNC is encouraged to post the executable to the files area of this list. Since the...
Folks: Sure thing. I've seen "Dave K" around a bit, so I'll tell you what's going on with him... :) Fact is, I just have been spreading myself too thin...
Newbie question somebody can hekp me with ? On my TCNC startup screen is the message: "Pentium timing not available in protected mode" I'm running DOS 5.0 with...
From: "skerbitz" <skerbitz@...> ... From every thing I've gotten reading the docs and reading the code, you can't use the Pentium timing functions if you...
I'm back to tcnc after about 1 year break. Did some rewiring, configured home switches and limits active high. They work fine on a port monitor, but don't...
Alex, Just guessing, but if you have "HomeasLimits" set, you do NOT set up limit switches in the config. Bubba ... Bubba OLDER THAN DIRT Country Bubba ...

... Hi, Alex: How are you getting your "active high" signal? I'm assuming that your computer always indicates a limit condition, right? If that's the case, you...
hi- we've written up a how-to that actually will be updated later tonight to include a more accurate diagram (since we came to a half-correct conclusion that...

Jerry, I actually have signal going through the resistor - 10 K.In my case it goes like this: Ground-10K-pin-NO of the switch-5V. This is why in my case I get...
When I switch off Geckos, what do I turn off first - motor power or 5V? Btw, the motion is extremely smooth - I tried several drives before - no comparison,...

Hi, As Alex has it wired, using a 10k as a pulldown, could be and issue. 10k is a large value for a pulldown and the current will be very small. Leakages into...
