Ok one last one for the night.

I know that only CNC Professional has a real simulation mode but the CNC Lite or Plus doesn't so MOVING isn't going to be able to tell if it's moving unless your...

Murphy,

I have a different package than you and I don't have those same limitations.

Some one from an earlier thread said you can nest macros and if that means call one macro from another than...

Murphy,

The TIMER.FIL file will still be affected by lots of IF THEN commands but if the statement is not true and doesn't run, it goes by so fast you won't notice but hundreds of these would...

Yesterday you didn't update the TIME variable \31 in the code you posted so there was no need to go into a loop. So if it wasn't for the reason that you wanted to update the pop up list box menu for...

Murphy,

I have noticed that too much logic in the TIMER.FIL file does degrade performance. If you think about it everytime the timer interval you set elapses then all the logic runs again.

Murphy,

I got the answer. Next time iam charging ;)

Simpler was the answer. It was stuck in a loop. I removed all the GOTO and loop logic and the end result is that variable \8 from LISTPICK...

Murphy,

The first assumption is correct. The list box should pop up when you issue LISTPICK and wait until the user picks from the list. The selection will be stored in a variable.

I had to...

Jevs,

You're looking at two totally different types of systems.

Mach2 and CamSoft aren't in the league. Mach2 is targeted more towards hobbyist were CamSoft is for businesses or commercial...

Tarak,

Copy one of the home routine macros provided in the Macro.Fil or Macro.Mac files. There are several pre-written different types there for 2 axes through 8 including homing for gantry style...

I even know this.

To reverse the I/O polarity enter a negative I/O card number type in CNCSETUP. If the spindle is only on/off and not variable theres no need to tell it there is a spindle, just...

Keith,

The motors were already on the machine. I think they were sigma brand. The machine was a retrofit I helped someone do and the dirt bag still owes me money. Both of us were satisfied with...

Keith,

I don't know Mariss and I have not used the stepper board from CamSoft. I have used the Galil boards with CNC Lite on Bridgeport knee mills.

I have got better than expected feedrates...

Welcome John,

You're right John there are many G code formats. I have used several G code programs on different machines. They are not all the same. CamSoft has a standard default set in their...

Ajax,

I was intrigued about Ajax when I was first looking around for a CNC controller and compared CamSoft to Centroid and Ajax, but decided on CamSoft. So far I am pretty happy with my CamSoft...

Hi Squarewave,

I may be able to help you . I have done some mills and lathe retrofits and want to become a CamSoft retrofitter. I admit I have never done a 4 axis EDM, but I have researched the...

To everyone

The responsibility or guarantee is between you and your installer.

I have noticed that all software, including Microsoft have these similar disclaimers.

I am writing because I...

To Mr. Hillbilly,

I believe I can help you setting up your system. I want to be a dealer for CamSoft and I have the latest software and documentation. I have been doing this for years and I am...
