Well 83 views and not one response in two and a half weeks  :'(

This whole ncPod forum seems to have fallen off the shelf.

Don't know what happened to Kookaburra.  He hinted at some health issues.  Wish him well if that is so.

The OEMtech site has not sparked to life.

Perhaps there is discussion going on somewhere else but I don't know where.

This product seemed to me to have real potential. 

I would have expected those involved with it would be shouting from the rooftops.

Just seems to be dead.  :'(  I must admit to being a bit mystified.

I catch the information that may be a problem.
However, I cannot clarify this.
I think that I want the problem to improve by his hand.

I have a list of bugs but I was not going to post them at this time... we have been working and I have done about 6 hours of testing on it.
At this point I would say .. needs a bit more work but it is getting there!

Brian I know that you and Art have been writing a plugin for it (in between all the other tasks  :) )

My comment was more to do with the people whose product this is.

We don't seem to have heard boo from them.

I know it is odd, but as long as they keep up with the bug fixes I am VERY happy ;)

Hello everyone
I just plug my ncPOD for the first time about one hour ago.
At this moment I bough the mach3 last week but it is only today that I found some time to try it.
I did try the input pin and I have seen that they are not in the right order on the ncpod status, but at least they work.
Now because I am new with Mach3, I do not understand how to send some step out.
I did not connect on my CNC yet, but I have my scope on it right now.
Can anyone help me to use that new board so I can possibly connect it on my CNC
Thank's
Francoib

"2,019" new versions were found.
I was going to introduce it, but it was not accepted.
By a version of a board, will not you work?

"2,020" new versions were found.
Did somebody try to test it?
Did it work?

It is working... there are a few little roblems that we are working on at this time...

1.) If you have softlimits on and an axis reversed it will swap the jog keys (I know where the problem is and should be fixed today)

2.) Home pull off move is not using the right acceleration

Other then that it seems to be working well :)
Thanks
Brian

Kookaburra (Dave) made a special request for this section to be set up.
I told him I would only if he vowed to run it.
I will give him grief, and see where he is at.

"2,022" new versions were found.
I am a secret whether it worked enough. ???

It has been tested and works better then any other release.  I have a few guys that I set up with Pods and they are reporting that it is working very well :)
Sorry I have not had time to post about it as I have been working on other projects

I cannot do reading of "firm ware".
I continue testing it for another one year.
I cannot confirm it then which part I become an error in.
Are not there a test driver and a laboratory method of a loader?

It looks to me that you have the software installed ... Hmmm could you please try to install the software from www.oemtech.com and see if it will work. That is as basic as we can get for testing at this point.

Thanks
Brian

The version is 2022 to be seen with an image.
Naturally they are things loaded download by "www.oemtech.com".
A certain person says that a certain person who should have been able to update it becomes an error.
Will there be an impossible thing by an original board version?
"USB2.0" says that, therefore, results are different, but will there be a mistake for its confirmation?
When I write scenery of a basic difference as well as it.
Windows is slightly different from a Japanese edition with English version.
Only a Japanese edition is available even if I access ".NET" and "IE7" of English version in Japan.
Because only English version is available in natural U.S.A., I cannot inspect it even if different in movement of "ncPOD".
I imagine this in what there is about a different language version except English a little.
I am about "USB2.0" next, but there are a similar problem and problems such as "vendor ID", and its handling becomes indistinct.
It is "a boot loader" and those adaptability that I have a hard time most.
At first let me examine this part.

"2024 versions" came this time.
Unfortunately this was not usable to me, too.
Please light up course ahead.
2024 indication
(http://proxy.f2.ymdb.yahoofs.jp/users/776c5010/bc/dbbd/__hr_/1fbc.jpg?bcyTi0GBbvz2u8xR)
It should solve a problem of a boot loader earlier.
It is early and discovers a problem to come out next and is easy to come to solve it if I do so it.

As for me, a dyne loaded "(Firmware Version 2027)ncPODUpdater.exe" and installed it.
The movement of the program recognizes a port and a board, and I update an item, and it is it with an all error 3 automatically.
And it is displayed with update success, but actually nothing changes.
I try the different "ncPOD" panel program of the version, but, for three boards, do the indication which is in different states.
I arrive for the board which I own during about 2 years, and it is exasperating, and still basic improvement thinks what is not done to be it.
