I now have a cheap parallel port BoB to run the machine but since I don't have a tmie constraint on the NEVM I will use it without limits switch to tune my system and cut new aluminum plates to morph my system into a movable gantry style of CNC router.
I'll keep my eyes on this forum to see how things develop.
PS: My wife happens to be Chinese, so I'm going to investigate who actually makes this motion board and ask her to contact them by phone to see if I can get a working plugin for this board. I'll post any developments here....
I had a change of heart, I didn’t want to be asked to send the board back, and have to re order something else and wait weeks before i can use the CNC. I did contact the seller though and hassled him hoping to get a contact for the manufacturer, but it’s like talking to a brick wall. They said they contacted the manufacturer (yeah right) and will keep me posted, meanwhile gave me a contact number for an other Australian buyer who might be able to help. I couldn’t be bothered, It’s probably someone i already talked to via those forums anyways. I’ll still keep hassling the seller, i told him i want the driver source code and to request it from manufacturer, maybe they’ll get tired of me and eventually send it hehe
Maybe you wife will be more lucky, there is defiantly a language barrier for me.
It’s a pain but still ‘usable’ as is for now, trying to figure out Vectrics and Fusion360 will keep me busy for a while and at a later stage i’ll look at getting a better board, something compatible with LinuxCNC or Mach4 .
I made a ‘Project Page’ to document my 'journey' so far, might help other newbies like me one day,

Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
Chinno, so you have resolved all the issues that Miky has stated by using a new plugin, if I understand you correctly? If so, can you share the download location or the actual .dll by attachment here ?
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
I have the same problems as described aboveI . Do not buy this device until you have a properly working driver

Below are are few examples of what i have done i with it.
It was running fine for a few weeks but developed a glitch where it seems to miss a block of code and then tries to shoot off to the start of the next block.
This is on all code from a basic circle to the NVEM mounting plate below.
Fix one problem and find another.
Got the below to cut out ok. Lost one set due to a glitch

Pic of mach3. It knows that its out of alignment but just keeps going. Seems to be missing a block of code and its so inconsistent i can't pin point it.
All i know is that tuning the motors to 25000 velocity and 2000 acceleration has made it so i can at least run again.
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/attach...d=358166&stc=1
Also worth noting that once the above has occurred i can zero of run from a specific line of code and it will cut in the exact path it should unless it glitches again.
It seem to go into a gitter as it tries catch its self up.
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
Thank you for posting your Driver Chinno. Same driver as I use , same issues as i originally posted. On the other hand i do not have the problems you are having. It all works great for me , flies and doesn't miss a bit, I use it to mill very small and precise silver jewellery so I would notice missed steps. But the bugs with limits and switches are a pain in the bottom, i still occasionally break a home switch by accidentally jogging the wrong way.

Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
Chinno,
Thanks for the reply and the file sharing. I've also been tied up with other issues and my router project is at a standstill and probably will be for a while. The fact that Miky tried your version of the plugin and it did not improve any issues, saves me the time.
I'll still keep an eye on this thread to see what develops.
I got my latest plugin form here "http://chinaplccenter.com/support/", so I'll keep checking there until perhaps a new version is posted...
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
Some good news maybe , don't just give up on the NVEM yet :-)
I'm told the developer of the NVEM plugin has heard us and is now looking at those issues, starting with the problem with dual use of switches (limits + home / Limits override) , Soft limits and slow zones.
I have been very happy with the functioning of this board , there might be some other issues i haven't experienced myself, but if those few were taken care of, it would definitely make this board a good product i think.
Will update if i hear more about it.
Miky
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
Excellent news. If I can be of help (via my wife) communicating with the developer, be glad to do so.
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
one more problem with NVEM CNC ethernet 6-axis controller.
When an A-axis is slave to X-axis (or any other axis), I have a problem with homing of slave axis. it dosn't work. Homing are enable only for master axis.

I passed this on to the Plugin developer and hopefully they will look into this as well :-). The dual use of switches as both Limit & Home has already been partially fixed that's a start :-) , i have tested a pre-release of the next plugin update but i'm not authorised to pass it on at this stage. Slow process but i'm happy someone is working on those issues cause i really like this board. They are currently working on fixing some more homing issues and soft limits . I will keep posting updates about the progress when i know more and when there will be an official downloadable update, soon hopefully :-)

Download NVEM Driver/Plugin Updated 23/05/2017
I was provided with a driver update. There is no official site for it so for now the only place it can be downloaded from is my project page.
Miky's CNC6040 2017 Project Scroll down to "Step 6" there is a download link for NVEM_P.dll
- The switch dual function Home/Limit has been fixed so it's now possible to use switches as both Home & Limit . (Works for me)
- The "Limits Override" has been fixed too , so it's possible to 'Reset' and jog away from the switch when a limit switch has been activated . (Works for me)
- Soft Limit Slow Zones are still not working, and Soft Limits only work correctly when the mach3 "Machine Coords" button is selected (Red) (I'm told this is being looked at)

Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
I checked on my machine a new library. Many thanks for the work done! Definitely there are improvements, but the slow zone and the slave axis still do not work. Considering that there are two motors on the Y axis on my machine, I still can not use all the features of this controller at full capacity.
Surprisingly, the sellers say that everything works well. I can not prove anything to them ..
Here is their video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EGUHFzP3Ns&feature=youtu.be
And here is my - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/J8NE/tYFvtCzm8
What am I doing wrong???
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
I tried slave axis, it does not work for me. I dont think you are doing anything wrong :-) . I don't know why it works on their video, i tried many combinations and no luck. I am going to send your video to plugin developer.

Laptop and controller are directly connected through a straight RJ45 cable (not crossover).
In the Windows 10 command prompt i can see the static address using ipconfig /all
In don't see any other IP addresses on the LAN except this one and localhost(127.0.0.1), using netstat -r
I tried disabling Windows firewall, enabling network discovery and allowing other computers to use this laptop's network connection
Still no joy.
Short of using a router and letting the device figure out the addresses, is there anything else i should do ?
Anyone else care to chip in ?

Hi, with mine i threw in another ethernet card and set that ip to 192.168.31.12 and used the normal ethernet outlet for internet
Re: Help with Novusun NVEM control card
