can someone advise me how to connect a computer via the RS 232 connection with an Fagor 800 T controller ?

is an adaptor required , are there USB > RS 232 adaptors available to improve connectivity ?

is there any way i can increase memory on my 800T controller or is it easier just to do large programs in two parts and delete one / download one as required ?

i am told the machine previously had WiFi connection to the controller which was removed when they sold it to me.

this controller is fitted to a Jesco 2280 lathe

once i have a connection , what software do people recommend to run on my laptop for file conversion and for talking to my 800T ?

i use turbocad 18 for drawings but i have only just begun to learn programming

next question of many ..lol , is a mastercam course the best way to learn and the best platform to "build up on " an existing controller like the 800T which is a bit dated now ?

thankyou
