Because it is the question in this page, I suppose it to use "2031 ncPod Firmware Installer (Version) for Mach3 or Basic Control Panel".
Did you do movement by "the G code" or the data transmission of a message from "Mach3?"

I was inappropriate, but did confirm it in movement with "only ncPod Basic Control Panel 1.0.0.0" to discuss it here?

It is assumed that you have already used next.

hi Apollo,

thanks a lot for your help.
I am just a beginner of ncPod programmer here. I dont even have Mach3 machine.
Hence, i just play with the controller only which is ncPod here.
Which at later stage, i will combine with any servo driver.

Currently, i use basic control panel 1.0.0.0 as downloaded from ncPod website.
However, my ultimate goal is to store basic sequence in G code or any other format in SD RAM in order not to be dependent
on PC itself.

thanks a lot

Hi,

If you're not using Mach (which I don't think supports the SD card yet), then you're going to have to access the other features by programming in VB or c#

Download Visual Studio 2008 Express which is free, and have a look at the solutions in the ncPod SDK.
c# is the core code for accessing the NCPod and Visual Basic shows you how to connect to the .net assemblies Carl has created in c# (for example, the basic application you are trying)

Hope this helps
