Not too long ago there was some comments about upgrading one of the smaller
CAM programs, I think it was Kevin Carols CNC981 if my memory is correct. I
was wondering about the status of the work on it. If my memory is wrong
please correct me.

Also Dan mentioned a project he had for a CNC conversion in the works for
Sherline equipment. Found a Sherline mill at the neighbors garage, and
dealing for it now, if successful will need the kit.
Dan could you give us an update on this project.

As of this morning we have 199 on the list. Come on you lurkers, tells who
you are, what you are working on. Or ask questions, what, why, how. LINUX
is being well covered, now lets get some other subjects also well covered.

I wasn't rushing things, but hadn't heard anything so got to wondering. I
got the Sherline Mill today with vise and variable speed, works good, a few
spots of rust, but they cleaned up nicely. Traded it for an old 55 gallon
aquarium and parts and pieces. Grinning from ear to ear.
Glad to hear it on cutting metal, also on the running the steam engine. I
have not done that yet.
A couple of models on air, but no steam, do have a boiler in the making.
In this issue of Nuts and Volts, Dan has a schematic of the 2 amp controller.
It has Home and Limit switches, any chance that STEPSTER can support the
same switches and the same pin numbers? Would simplify things possibly.

There are people out there that already have STEPSTER working and wired up,
this should not involve them in having to change their set-up when they get
Charlie's update.

I can agree with that, had not given it the thought that I should have.

I believe that I asked before, does anyone have a copy of the schematic
download that is mentioned in the description of STEPSTER? I would like very
much to receive a copy by direct e-mail if possible.

Bill,
I'm working on Stepster in my free time. (what little I have) - I know how
to get the limit switch working, and I'm going to put it into test SOON (I
wanted to do it 2 weeks ago). It's just that I've actually been cutting
metal, and the like. I just got to run a live steam engine for the first
time today!!!

I have not heard any mention of Microsystems LPT CNC stepper software which
has solid
G-code support and well thought out but may not be to everyone's taste.
Anyone out there with experience they wish to share?

A very promising development is the Indexer LPT 32 bit port for Win95/98.
Bags of improvements over the 16bit version and serious jump in performance.
The improved interpolation (helical) and buffer look ahead for smoothness is
attractive - the lack of a g-code front end is already addressed with add on
front ends available from other people. Anyone care to comment?

Cheers
Mo

The pin numbers can be set in the config file, so that's no problem!
Kevin's code just wasn't reading the right register, and then was assuming
a pin, even though there was a setting, and even then, was doing the check
incorrectly. I need maybe 1/2 hr to 1 hr to fix it, and then I need to
send it out for alpha test. I made a LOT of changes, and I'm almost sure I
broke something or another

Bill,
I have been all over "one list" homepage, and can not find any
archives...any help or URLs?

Log in on ONELINE, and go to member center, and click on the CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO
list, that will take you to the list center, and click on archives. Or just
enter the following URL:


good luck,

I will have the hardware sherline retorfit kits this week about thursday.

I should also asked you the price, and what is included.

Visited your web site yesterday noticed you now have servo drivers, maybe
next time I will go that route, but this time will do steppers on my EMCO
FB-2 mill.

have bandsawed about 40 plate and machined all the blanks to the proper
width. I just need to machine the 1" bore and drill the holes.

Gee, I don't know why. I looked up , and
got their home page. It has a thing in the middle right hand orange
area that says 'find a community'. I entered CAD and clicked
enter, and got a list of lists with CAD in the name. The 3rd one
was CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO, the list in question. I clicked
on that, and got a page that says : View Archives, and has a list
of articles following that. This is just for 'today' s traffic, but it
has a link to 'Archive Index', that has all the archives back to
May 6, which I guess is when this list was started.

I hope this works OK for you. If not, it may be an AOL
browser problem. I'm using Netscape.
