I've done this in testing. I have a bunch of motors and drivers and power supplies. It takes about 15 minutes to connect an Arduino to the driver and a variable resister and then the software creates

You should be able to download Visual Basic at no cost. Sent from a fancy digital leash...

I just tried downloading CNCZeus from GitHub, and all that's there is the source code. ?Does anyone know if there's an executable available for download, or do I need to buy a $100 compiler just to

If all one wants is to run a stepper motor back and forth with no programming, there are a couple of shortcuts. ?First, a simple variable speed pulse generator with remote control:

You can buy parallel port PCI (or PCIe) cards for about $10 to $20. Add a printer port to any brand new computer with an open PCI slot in about 10 or 15 minutes cheap.

Wow, thanks Chris and everyone for this great recompilation of things I have learned and thought about over the years. Now I am actually getting closer to having motorized table(s), not at the point

Thanks to all those who tried, but I am so far behind, I got lost at MS-DOS !!! Rgds. Ellis Ok Ellis, I speak American, not English 8-) and it still makes little sense in the machinist's world.... At

whatever, to get moves, These groups could go away tomorrow as well. They've been on the chopping block for a while. The bulk of the images that people share have a limited lifespan or just not that

I'm not sure where the below email was, but it is 12 hours later, I just got up, and it arrived here at 4:38 AM. Yahoo Magic?? Warren L [snipped]

I worked for many years with a determinant “soft PLC” program for MS-DOS. (Universal Automation Inc’s “FLOPRO”.) It actually allowed running a second application program for a user

The problem with hosting these things on third party sites like Dropbox, Google, or whatever, is that over the years, that hosting may go away, so people comeing here later and trying to understand

I really hate going this far off topic (yea - I know "Don't") MSDOS is an OS. Not really bare metal programming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system

Kind of on topic. Many people would like to convert a mini-tool to CNC. Anyone doing that today would NOT write their own code. They'd install this: wiki.linuxcnc.org

If you were starting now, USB interface! Maybe Bluetooth or WiFi but they're mostly more trouble than needed. I have USB running one mill with Mach3 and I have a USBCNC board for the other mill. Toss

I have to agree. Hobby Machinist is classy site. Respectfully, Les ---In 7x12minilathe@..., <old_toolmaker@...> wrote : I forgot to mention in my last post, Hobby Machinist allows pictures

Set the height by raising the head, not by lowering it. This removes a lot of backlash in the fine feed. Same principal as raising a saw blade to exact height on a cabinet saw. Also if you are using

I know we are running a bit off topic with this thread, but I'll throw in my two cents. MS-DOS was very good and relatively easy for controlling anything and everything because it allowed you take

Ok Ellis, I speak American, not English 8-) and it still makes little sense in the machinist's world.... At the risk of getting stomped all into the dirt, I'm going to attempt an 'Engl-erican'

Yeah, there's definitely a whole 'nother language when programmers start talking to each other. ?? Basically it means that MS-DOS exposes the most low-level hardware functions of the computer to any
