Please be gentle, as I'm completely new to machining in general, and CAD/CAM in particular, strictly as a hobby.
I recently purchased a Dyna Mechtronics (Dyna Myte) DM2400 mill as my first foray into this world. Luckily it is completely functional - using the original electronics and Dyna's DynaLan conversational language. I've been able to run their canned demo program (the Dyna logo) and get a few basic steps programed in that language. But what a bear!
I've read about a LOT of conversions of DM2400s -- gutting the electronics and running Mach2/3, but I believe that is a little beyond my capabilities at this point.
Due to seeing there is a DM2400 post-processor available, I downloaded the Dolphin demo a few days ago, and find it surprisingly easy to create basic parts in the CAD side and then see the toolpaths in CAM.
My question is: Is anyone here successfully using Dolphin with an unaltered 2400 mill, using the DM2400 post processor? I'd like take the plunge, but would certainly feel better knowing Dolphin works well with this (evidently rather) rare mill before purchasing.
Thanks
