I would like to hook the index pulse from an encoder to a transistor across the home input in such a way that the port pin will only 'see' the home switch...
The answer to your problem isn't that difficult as it seems. First I will tell how it's done on professional machines. For example on cnc-milling machines...
I tried last night and my index pulse is indeed to short for cncpro to see. I know what I need to do though. I'll just latch the limit switch inputs with the...
It's getting to be a pain booting windows every time I need to transfer a gcode file to the machine controller. Has anyone successfully networked cncpro?...
Joel, I use MSWGCN, which can be found on ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/mswgcn.exe It can be interesting to set up, especially on a dual boot...

Yes that works fine. Problem is I don't use DOS Edit to write gcode - except minor tweaks possibly. I use Vector to make gcode on another computer and need...
Joel, I'm not sure you follow me. The DOS Edit program has files navigating/retrieval/uploading capability. It's not a slick as Windows but, works well enough...
Thanks Rich, I had forgotten how to use DOS. After all, we got along just fine with it in it's day. I have been exiting CNCPro and going into Win to transfer...
Al, Ahhhhhh, something tells me...... DOS Edit is accessed from CNCPro by holding down the Alt and hitting F. Arrow down to the second selection "Create or...
Ok, I understand. Your just using Edit to navigate the net and load the file without shutting down cncpro. Yes, that will work great. I need to install DOS...
Rich: I have gotten that to work exactly once. Have tried more times than I want to admit. It just doesn't want to go and look for the file when I select the...
Carey, CNCPro shouldn't have any effect on how DOS Edit works. It could be that anything outside of the installed DOS OS is simply not available. I know it...

I was not previously aware of the ability to assign the "ESTOP" input as either that, or as a "PAUSE" signal, in CNCPro. Thanks to Alan Rothenbush for the...
I am currently working on a wood project with a lot of arc details and limiting the decimal places to three with no problems on CNCPro. This is the first...

Carl,I had the same problem with my limit switches,And i found that if you put a 10k resistor in the 5 volt line going to the limit switch and the other side...
It's pretty well known that "constant contouring" doesn't work with continuous updating. I'll theorize that your machine is not superfast, that you might have ...
