![]() ![]() I've been looking at EMC2 and just lately started to look at Mach2 & 3. I have found the connectors at Digi-Key, 3 for the scales and 1 for the controller adds up to around $70. I plan to use all the same connectors so I can switch back to my Anilam control until I get the PC control running correctly. ![]() If you would like any help give me email have a Crusader II that I'm working on upgrading to a PC based control. Second thing is that with the conversational control and on board calculators you have a good chance to program the machine without spending the big bucks on cad/cam programs. One of the big things that I've learned is regardless of what control whether homebrew or store bought you need a good cad/cam program. Finding no mention of Anilam controls on any of the forms and with no manual the learning curve was difficult. I didn't know how to turn the machine on. The Anilam control that I have was my introduction to CNC. Oh by the way I downloaded the free version of deskengrave and with the g code to conversational program converter (this should be in your control's utility programs) the resulting program was 20,000 lines long for a name with only 5 letters. I would suggest that you call the anilam people and buy the offline software for your particular control and you can transfere the programs by either floppy disc or DNC cables. I programed a 10 curved blade fan for a century R/C helicopter to cut the blades and do all the work on topside of the fan was only about 30 lines of programing and with the use of the on board geometry calculator the x,y points were easy to find. I was like you and thought it was very dated but if you take the time to learn the conversational control I'm sure you will be pleased. ![]()
