Jeff, I don't believe cnc pro supports using "R" parameters for circular inerpolation. I had to use I and J values. http://www.nfrpartners.com/nfrg2g3.htm ...
My old computer crashed and I reinstalled cnc pro on a newer computer. Intel celron processor with windows 2000 professional. Won't run. Need help with this...
Larry, Seems like Win 95 or 98 were recommended and the newer Windows versions had issues or work arounds to enable running CNCPro. If it were me, I'd stay...

Hi Don Servos or steppers? Sounds like the problem is with the motor/driver not being able to keep up. Maybe set your accel down a little. Bob ... From: Don...
Don, Not sure if this will help but I once had a problem with z axis loosing position almost ever time I started to move it. Slowing down the feed rate helped...

Hi Don; The solution depends on what Baldor servos you have. If they are brush type motors then the easiest solution is either Gecko or Rutex drives. Rutex...
Just a word of caution. Make sure the problem isn't your acceleration rate is too high. It is adjusted in the set up. I had a similar problem and thought it...
Mark - thanks for the response. Not sure about the existing encoder on the Baldor DC brush type servo motors. It is a Sumtak Optcodrer, and has 1000P/R on the...
Thanks Doug, Baldor motors are DC brush type. I am trying to go from the computer (CNCPro) to the Gecko, to the servo motor. I am using a 5VDC power supply...
Is there any way to get CNCpro to run an a newer computer with Windows XP ? I have tried it on 2 computers and have had no luck . -- Ron Kline American...
Ron, CNCpro requires MS DOS or DRdos. XP has NONE. You will have to create a dual system disc, put DOS on one, XP on t'other. Boot to which you want. RichD...
