Ok looks good thanks.

Well I am not making any as my new version 11 is broken with no help in site other than to pay for help. My windows XP version was fine more or less until I upgraded my PC and went to windows 7 then...

OK I zipped them into one folder.

I have V11 and use it for turning on a Meldas L3 controller on a Dynamyte 3300 slant bed lathe. The post mostly works but needs to put the G33 feed speed on same line as the G33 command, also needs...

Help is ongoing with mixed results. I purchased the level 1 support deal. Part of the problem seams to be a lack of good solid info on how a post should look for my L3 control. Canned cycles are the...

Is there a Gcode that tells the machine to use the tool offsets? Or....is "T0101" enough for it to use them? So if I entered a line like "G00 G54 T0101 X0.0 Z0.0" it should rapid to the work offset...

OK I tried a bunch of suggestions and this is what I have come up with so far. When I delete the line asking for the first tool everything seams to go to a reasonable position. So I think my set up...

I would like to have my ref. point set up as the face of the chuck also. So you use a G53 (say -12") ? for that then G54 is the distance from G53 to the part end as a positive #?

I will try what you suggested to find zero. From looking at the parameters I think the zero will be at the machine home position for both Z and X . What is (G92) spindle clamp speed? Running the...

Thanks for the response....I will give this a try on Friday.

Here is a program I am trying to run on my Meldas L3 lathe. I have done the MDI G54 entry for program zero 6" out from the chuck face to set up program zero. All my tool offsets are set correctly I...

Thanks for the idea. OK I tried that with no luck. What does the MDI entry do,and where should the tool be when the MDI entry is done? How do you find where the machine zero is (the one that is...

I am trying to find program 0 on my lathe. I have set up all my tools as per the manual using the chuck face as Z 0 which gives me a negative number from my home 0 location. I have put a G 54...

Close only counts in in grenade tossing and nuclear war. The Fanuc post has some issues.:)

We are building a post processor for my CadCam software and are in need of a cnc program file (the G code) that has been run successfully on a Meldas L3 controller. This could be a small bushing,...

OK the G50 is the first problem it is from a type (1) g code format and means coordinate system setting/spindle clamp/speed setting. Type (2) G code format which is standard uses G92 and not G50. How...

I will check this out on Monday when I get a moment. Thanks for you help everyone. I think your right about the parameter thing with the radius or diameter setting.

I am not sure what G50 is (my book is at the shop) but I think it is a coordinate system setting telling it radius dimensions in stead of diameter dimensions. With a lathe if you want .100" off the...

I dont know why there is so many tool or tool changes in this program. This is the first program I have made with the new software with a generic Fanuc post for my Mitsubishi machine. When the file...

It gives the alarm before anything moves. I hit the go button and it gives the alarm. Does it need the % sign in the machine? I dont see it in the lathe file. I am using a Fanuc post to make the...

The PC and the Meldas are speaking to each other now both ways with good code well sort of good code. I do not yet have a proven post for my Cam software so maybe something is missing in the file...

Hyper terminal seams to be putting 2 exclamation marks behind every N number as it sends it...like this N15!! N25!! N35!!........what could this be?

OK they are talking now sort of. I can load a file from Meldas to PC and from PC to Meldas. I am using a different PC with an actual serial port. I am getting a G34 error "code not listed in the...

I spoke with Mitsubishi tech support and they tell me they have had major problems like mine with using the usb to serial adapters for pc's that dont have serial ports, only some work and only on...

It wont let me change 1 #7 robot interface to anything other than 1 thats the same for screen 5 #1. I have tried all the other changes with no luck. Could it be that it doesnt like the USB to serial...

OK here are some photos. Some of these settings have been changed dozens of times along with the PC and the PC port, so Im not sure what I have here now. I have set up info from Mitsubishi in the for...

My head is sore from banging it against the wall now. I have checked baud rate (4800) on all three settings pc port, pc software and Meldas para. Same with hand shaking same with data bits (8) and...

OK I just sent a file from the lathe to the pc with some success. The only thing is the fonts and format looks strange, its not something I could run.

Yup they are the same. The handshake is supposed to be DC code for my machine and Im not sure what the DC code parity should be set to for my machine and what this relates to in the software settings...

I am using my Dolphin com program now with I think a little more luck. But I am now getting E17 Parity H error which is a horizontal tape error......I am using my pc....any thoughts?
