Update.

All working as expected, thanks for the advice, I actually got a reasonable understanding of the process in the end.
Now on to the next problem :)

Cheers

Thanks again, will look at this again tonight and try, feeling more confident now that I am starting to understand this.

Cheers

Update on my very steep learning curve.

mactec54 - just realised that he xpro 0-10v would need to connect to the VI connection on the vfd not 10v.
Also realised the relay output NO would connect...

Your a legend mactec54, always replying like this is very much appreciated. This whole vfd setup thing is becoming a very very steep learning curve for me, once up and running I will be back in a...

Thanks for your input guys, I understand what I was trying to achieve was not ideal but it was going to be easy for me.
Anyway, when I bought my machine it came with a Grbl based controller which I...

Are you referring to the bob?
If so, it only has a GND connection from the connections on your list, non of the others.
This is the bob I am using, the three red lines indicate the spl spm sph...

Hi, try the download from this link (at your own risk of course) i have not downloaded it myself but it should be an english version. I have used NCStudio for over 5 years and am not aware that the...

Hi Guys,

A while back I posted the information below to try & source pricing on a new card, now I have a new & intersting problem and need a card urgently.

I am now being shown an error...

Hi, as far as I know NCStudio cannot handle DXF files directly. I suspect that you could if you got the DSP option. Sorry I can't be anymore help than that. Rob

Hi, I know this is slightly off topic but I thought this would be the best place to post as we all have ties to China in one way or another (through the routers we have bought) & also any replies may...

Hi Andus, I don't have Artcam but have a similar issue with Aspire which may shed some light on your issue.

Aspire calculates the estimated cut times based on the fixed feedrate of the tool (as...

Hi, this may be of use to you, although you may already know how to use this feature.

To find a start point nearer to where your file stopped use the SIMULATION MODE, once this has run through to...

Hi Diana, thanks for the reply.

Attached are a couple of pictures, on of the existing card & one of the breakout board.

Let me know if you are able to help me & details of your recommendations,...

Thanks Alan, I will see how I get on with the manufacturer.

If it gets too difficult I will just convert to using Mach3 instead.

Hi again Alan

Are you able to supply pricing on Weihong PCI cards, the one I am using is tempramental so I would like to try & find a replacement just in case it does go bad.

Thanks

Rob

Hi all,

Bit of background info:

I have just been in contact with a sales person at Weihong regarding a replacement PCI card to for the old tempramental 3G one I have. They were all ok at the...

Hi Alan, yes I am only 5v at the board. I could get another board from Weihong that has 24v but I don't want to spend that much money.

I will now make a sensor myself.

Thanks

Rob

Alan, you are correct, a tool sensor is the best option.

I am trying to find an affordable one but they don't don't seem to be too readily available so I will probably build one.

If you are...

Hi Alan, many thanks for that - it worked.

I didn't think of using that pin as it was already wired at the breakout board, just not at the other end of the cable on the z axis. Connected a...

Hi Alan

Thanks for the reply, I wish it did say 3B then it would be easy but it does say 3G.

I have attached a couple of pics, one of the pci card & one of the breakout board showing the...
