Anytime I have customers or friends over, they see my PCNC sitting there and think its the neatest thing ever. Everyone wants to see it do "something cool".

I was going to say that is the most expensive sound system, but I think some people actually put more money into sound systems than a tricked out Tormach PCNC somehow. Pretty creative.

Spectacular? High speed removal of hardwood at ridiculous feed rates and lots of circles and helixes. All with a carbide end mill.
You only break cutters and crash when someone else is watching.
Instant turner's cubes are nice demo.

That is too cool!
Reminds me of the Renault F1 car playing music...

Back when I first seen this I was into online sim racing and one of the forums I would frequent one the guys explained how this worked. Something about sound cycles, rpm and mathematical equations, bla, bla, bla. Way above my intellect

Here's another thing you can do with your CNC

Hee hee... I love it!

If this were in school you would have gotten a rap across the knuckles with the edge of a wooden ruler for miss-use of school property. Nice one.

Post the darn G-code.

I found it here: Fun with MIDI, CNC and vector maths (mid2cnc.py) « Outguessing the machine


Direct download link is: http://tim.cexx.org/projects/mid2cnc/mid2cnc.zip

Of the 3 included sample .cnc files, the mario did not work on the 770. The other two can be seen above. Even though I've had this for over a year, I still havent gotten down to making my own files with it.
It would be neat to record the same song in different channels, and play each one on the tormach, then combine them all into one track.

To open them, just open them through the mach3 window, same as the .tap files. XY zero is bottom left corner, and Z only needs 2-3 inches of travel, so I leave it up high.

I love it!! First time my wife has smiled about anything CNC related... watching my 1100 play the tetris theme...

OK, I had to have a go:

Gee. I hope your motor tuning is better than the program tuning. !!! hahaha.

I have a 32channel sound console in my trailer that was around $7k new Plus a $1000 case to put it in. A decent bar or wedding band PA can top $20k very quickly. I think I have around $18k to $30k worth of sound gear if any one wants to trade it for a 770 or other medium sized machine. My business has since moved away from doing much with sound for bands and corpy stuff.

Professional sound is similar to the price points we see in CNC. In the industry we have every thing from garage bands with just a guitar amp up to multi-million dollar sound systems with dozens of workers.

As for the stepper sounds I have seen similar with computer disk drives.

He's kinda cheating though cause he's driving the floppies directly with a microcontroller. Would be really cool to see that done with disk read/write accesses alone!

Sounds really old school;-) For $150 you can make almost any cheap PC sound pretty good with an HRT asynchronous DAC that runs from and is powered from USB [ame=http://www.amazon.com/HRT-Music-Streamer-II-Resolution/dp/B0038O4UFQ]Amazon.com: HRT Music Streamer II High Resolution USB D/A Converter: Car Electronics[/ame] . Nice thing is no computer clock sound as clocks are generated in the DAC.
