Version X3
Finally found where they are stored after some time reading the reference manual. Not the easiest procedure to change the postprocessors.

I think I do have a postprocessor I just don't know how to make it work. Sometimes I can get a G code into Mach3 with LazyCAM but it won't run. I can' t get anything from Countour cam. The default processor is FANUC.

I guess I will reread the maunal and keep playing around with it.

Creep Pea,

I hope you can help me and I very much thank you in advance for your assistance.

I saw in a post a few years back that you successfully uses Darek Ashburn's BOB board to communicate a PC with a Bridgeport Series II CNC.

I also have one of Darek's BOB boards and a
Nowhere in the documentation does it specifically stated whether the BOB should be wired to the connectors on the ZDI card or directly to the wiring harness bypassing the ZDI card.

I assumed that the BOB card was to be wired directly to the ZDI card bypassing the factory console.

Maybe this is entirely wrong.  Possibly the BOB should be wired directly to the cable harness and not to the ZDI card at all, thereby bypassing the ZDI card.

Please see the attached Pic to see what I did and possibly what I should have done??
