Hi All,
I need to use a single NUC computer with an installation of TNG software, to run two different machines, each with their own ECO cards and software licenses. One is a 3-axis router, the...
Sir, many thanks for this. I shall run and check this this in the next days, I have since discovered I may have a noisy input somewhere. Since 2 probe input pins have been enabled for the first time...
OK, will do. Do I send that to a specific e-mail?
Thanks, Francois.

I hit the correct measure one, not the tool offset one.
Could I kindly request that you perhaps put together a script for me, this would be highly appreciated.
Cheers, Francois.
I have done this, as well as entered the Z value in the Probe side, or in the Offset side, or in both, but nothing makes sense. It jogs down at the set speed (400), retracts, again down at slow speed...
Thanks awpross,
I tried this, but the latest version of TNG does not work as advertised. I set all the values under Offset/Measure, i.e speed, low speed, switch click travel, including making the...
Hi to all the users out there,
I've long been using TNG, works great. My shortfall is that I'm not a script or code writer. Basic G-code, no problem, but getting a script going is my nemesis.
I...
Could anyone tell me if one could reprogram the wireless handwheel to operate axis X, A and Z? I have a rotary plasma tube cutter, so I use the rotary A-axis instead of a Y-axis, but the handwheel is...
Thanks Klaus, I will give it a try this weekend, much appreciated.
B,

Hi, I do not think using the limit switches as stop command will work for my application. My Z-axis is a torch height positioner. I have got limit switches on both ends of the travel limits, and a...
Thanks Sir, will try assigning this input as a probe input. It will sort out getting the Z-axis to stop independently from the Z-axis limit switch commanding it to stop. Should I then be able to...
Hi All,
Anyone else out there able to advise me, what is the G-code command syntax I need to be able to command an axis to jog until it has triggered an input switch?
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have just completed the build of a plasma tube cutter utilising a PlanetCNC Mk3/4 controller card. It has a normal X-axis feed, the rotary axis is set up as a Y-axis, not as an A-axis....
Sure, I have 3 DeskCNC cards, plus a PWM to 0-10V spindle VFD driver card.
Hi,
I have 2 or 3 spare cards if you are interested. They all worked fine when I changed over to PlanetCNC. Nothing wrong with DeskCNC, It has always served me very well, but I sold my machines...
Gary, how did this crosshair work? Does it trigger a switch, or simply shine a dot onto a position?
If it is a switch per axis, they need to be wired into the card. See the attached .pdf file. You...
Carl, I have been using DeskCNC since 2004. Never missed a beat, other than when their last software update went in. It did not like very old Gen-2 cards. BTW, the latest software is v2.0.2.76, what...
Todd,
I'm getting 0.005" accuracy out of my Jinan J-Cut 1336. It's repeatable too. I only cut metal, and engrave stainless steel dataplates. The machine has completed all the sheetmetal...
Rocket, can you post Taney's contact info here? I want to purchase 4th axis components, to add to my 1336. I need a Leadshine MA860 stepper motor controller, and the rotary axis with chuck and rotary...

Dylwad,
The pendant connection to the DeskCNC card uses all the I/O Input connections, to get data into the controller card. The x1, x10 and x100 scales are individually wired to the Pause, Limit...
Since starting this thread, I have learned the spoilboard material is grey PVC sheets. I would prefer that, for it is soft enough to cut into, and not break my 3mm cutters. I do mostly aircraft...
I'm thinking of upping the steps per rev setting on the stepper controllers, to say 2000. I'll then recalculate the steps/mm values of the axis, and new speed values. Maybe the higher step pulse rate...
Hi There,
My stepper controllers are set to 800 steps per rev. Steppers are standard 1.8 degree type. My rack+pinion and reduction ratio produces a lead of 0.019628mm/step.
I cut my sheetmetal...
Interesting reply...
My start velocity under the Machine Velocity tab is 40, the max just over 3000. What do you suggest I set my contouring number to? Currently it is 1. Maybe check with results...
I have software v2.0.2.66, with firmware v2.36, these are the latest releases.
Yes, the problem seems to be in the belt reduction between stepper and rack+pinion. Changing it makes no difference,...
MaNo,
My table size is 3700 x 1450, with a working size of 3600 x 1300.
I would love to have the complete table with a vac holddown, but the best would be to have a removeable slide-on vac...
Tomica,
Looking at the pictures from the German CNC-Technical site, those are genuine Chinese machines. The pictures of the K-series machine, the oiler, the manifold, the tools, the clamps, the...
Hi There,
I'm at a bit of a loss on how to connect my DeskCNC ready Pendant I have just received.
From the SYS-3A instructions I received with it, I figured out the white connector goes to the...
