Sounds like your making progress. I remember "way back when" I set up limits, I had one that was not setup properly and it mess up everything. By testing with...
Well everything is working now (home/limits). Basically set-um up for series on each axis, enabled 1 @ a time using pins 10,11,15. 11 is inverted so its set...
Does anyone know how the home and limit switches are de-bounced? As I was trying different configurations I noticed that I am getting inconsistent performance...
I had given up on trying to make Home and limit switches work as one. I finally set a home, and another limit switch. I could be wrong but, I think that Home...
Alright I answered my own question. There is no software debounce in 4.1 TurboCNC. It is listed as a known bug to be fixed in version 4.2 TurboCNC. So I...
im try to decide which software to buy , mach3 seems good but im still not cutting after three weeks of setting up and i still have not gotten any where...
Robert, Don't forget that Turbocnc needs PURE DOS and will not run in a dos box under windows. You will need at least a boot disk and "regular dos" does not ...
... Hi, Robert: No, Art's really eating TurboCNC's lunch with Mach, and has been doing so for quite a while. And, yes, I think that TurboCNC is quite a bit...

Don't worry. Both are nice. Tcnc is easier than Mach, but works only in DOS! However works with Phase Drive and STEP/DIR boards. I am not sure about Match. ...
Robert, No, there is no time limit on the program that you download. The benefits of registration include access to the source code so you can make you own...
hello, I am new to this group and interested in building my own CNC for hobby use. I was wondering if using a rack and pinion drive for the X and Y axis would...
... Hi, Michael: Welcome to TurboCNC. You're certainly welcome to ask on this list, and those TurboCNC users with experience are more than welcome to post ...
Well purchasing it MAY get you extra source code. I paid to register it 3 months ago (going on 4) and have never heard any thing back. Good product, but I am...
I am with TurboCNC .. very easy to understand or config and it's my first success with CAM software.. HOW easy install and setting ? i have a page show at...
well im not for sure what i need the source code for now anyway, i just want to get started running my machine, i should not need the source code or do i need...
Robert, A little screen sure sounds like you are running it in a windows DOS box. TurboCnc HAS to be run in pure DOS for a dependable step pulse for the...
... Hi, Robert: To expand on what Jeff wrote - Windows 9x takes significant time slices to perform its internal housekeeping while your program is running. ...
i made a disk and started turbo. 1. i made a dos disk/format and then opened the disk and found files on the disk, then i was ask to put turbo files onto the...
Robert, The small screen sounds like a problem... windows might still be in control. Did you change the BIOS boot order to start at A: ? Before changing BIOS...
I've seen this. The native resolution of the graphics adapter is so high, and full screen text mode under BIOS control is such a novelty. that 80x25 text mode...
... This means that you're running in a DOS BOX under Windows and not under DOS. The diskette that you make should boot directly into dos. There should be no...
