Just registered on cnczone, this is my first post so bare with me. I just purchased an old Hurco KMB1 w/BX, It has the upgraded BX-MPU board with both masters built in (G-code and conversational). I'm running MasterCam and have my communication line working. Been working on customizing a post to get a clean part program. I've pretty well got this ironed out, but here is the problem... As my G-Code transmits to the machine I'm getting a weird character at the end of each line of code. I've tried several things and I really don't think the post is generating this "end of line" character. I've went as far as simply manually typing and G0 at the PC and transmitting it to the machine, only to see G0 with the blasted(mystery character) tacked on then end... and to boot it will not load to the buffer. I suspect the problem is originating from my editor or my pc's comm port settings. If anyone has any advise or input on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Keep in mind, I've got a total of 2 days experience with this old hurco technology, but have been around more modern cnc's for many years. I'm hoping to tap in the some of the vast knowlege floating around out there, in hopes that someone has seen and conquored a problem like this.
PS, just incase your wondering. I am able to manually type in blocks of info at the machine and run the program...No problem.
