Hello everyone.
i've made some experiment on this DSP and actually i know that:
- It can read Feed from program - es. F2100 (changing a setting on the dsp)
- It can understand Linear (G0 and G1) and circular (G2 and G3 with IJ addresses - K not tested) interpolation
- It can modify your spindle speed if correctly set up and wired (not my case :tired so not tried
Now i'm using Artcam Pro 2010 with G-code(arc) post processor, and it works perfectly.
The .tap g-code file start like this:
Code:
T1M6
G17
G0Z8.000
G0X0.000Y0.000S22000M3
And end like this:
Code:
G0Z100.000
G0X0.000Y0.000
M30
Here how looks a program:

I've tried only this small amount of commands (G0 G1 G2IJ G3IJ F) but with this commands you can do everything. I hope that this can help for build up a post-processor for rhinocam and also for other users of this DSP.
