    I don't have a 4th axis. The engraving in that part was made with the part clamped in a Glacern vise, and the z axis moving to follow the surface contour as the X and Y moved.

    OneCNC doesn't have...
  2. Looking for new CAM software to replace Inventor/Fusion/HSM. Engrave curve?

    I'm looking to replace my current CAM program. Most of my work is 2.5 axis milling, and easily done with pretty much any CAM software, or even MDI.

    Occasionally though, I need to do complex...

    Engrave cylinder/Hemisphere?

    I'm looking for CAM software to replace my Autodesk stuff. Most any software is capable of most of the operations I do, except it would seem, engraving 3 dimensional surfaces.

    Is visualcam...

    I swapped out with a couple other boards to test it. With a C11, no stalling. With a C10, no stalling.

    Its too bad, i really liked the features of the c11g!

    Yea, its weird that it'll run an hour long program, and run it like a champ. Then stall and miss steps while homing at the very end.

    Same computer, same software and same setup with a C10 board...

    Ok, ill try that when i get home from work this evening.


    Another annoyance with this C11g board is that my spindle turns on and runs full speed when i boot the computer.it turns back off once...

    The same problem has returned. I played around with various settings, and enabling Sherline 1/2 pulse mode seems to have fixed it.

    So, if shorter step/dir pulses help, should i change the...

    I've received and installed this new version. Apparently' to answer my own question, theres no quick way to toggle between panel control and mach 3 0-10v analog control.

    I hav'nt made any chips...

    Yes, i meant the step pins :)

    Good call.

    Yea, i found it really weird that it only stalled on the program end. Otherwise, it would run an hours long program stall-free.

    It has a m9, then

    g28 g91 z0

    Followed by a g28 x0 y0

    Then a m30

    So, it ends with z going home, then x and y going home. In hindsight, i think its just the z hanging during that move....
  11. Steppers hang when a program finishes! Any ideas?

    I just replaced my c10 breakout board with a c11g after a power surge blew my c10.

    Everything is running good, excep at the end of a program. Every time it finishes running a program, as the z...
  12. Can this newer version be run using PWM input? ...

    Can this newer version be run using PWM input?

    Update: i got an email answer on the above question. No, it doesnt have the capability of PWM input. But, the C11g BOB has an integral PWM to 0-10v...

    I'm not sure where your getting your steps per inch or steps per revolution information, or what specific motors controllers you have.

    What you need to know is, first your stepper motors number...

    Re: Hoss's G0704

    I appreciate the responses here and all the information posted by Hoss and others, without it I doubt my G0704 conversion would have been possible.

    I got my C6 spindle wired up and it works...

    It appears that this is either for a different board or incorrect. I'll disregard it in favor of yours. Thank...

    Hoss,if you dont mind I have a couple questions regarding setting up a C6 board for Mach 3 spindle control.

    I noticed that your wiring diagram has the C6 board's analog outputs connecting to the...

    I've had an old Smithy AT-300 Lathe/Mill/Drill for about 5 years and have pretty much worn it out using it as a gunsmith lathe. I've used it to build just about everything including form 1...
