DM3000...Retrofit or Get going with RS232 comm?????
okay guys...i think i need some help here and suggestions.
I have a all original and functional...everything works on it DM3000. It has the optional door opener,air chuck,regular chuck and tailstock tooling and good inserts also. Controller batt was replaced a year ago and Dyna updated the firmware ass well around 1.5 years ago.
I would rather get the RS232 port to connect and work with my computer and then just upload gcode cad post part file in a fanuc6t post in the controller and make chips.
I purchased this lathe 1 year ago and just now have had time to get back on it an learn to get this thing making parts...I dont think a retro fit is a good thing for this since everything does work. i also have the programming manual also.
SO i have several old computers with OS system from win 95 to win98... and have the rs232 connector.
I have all the parts to build my own RS232 cable as per the book schematic..so if ANYONE has got this thing to work and work good chime in...I have predator to use to upload the programs to the controller also
I need to know com settings and what cables pinouts you may have used and ect ect...
