Hi guys,

If anyone has actually got a MAX-NC-10 (OL not CL)  can they please contact me.  I need the setup information to get started.

General Mach Discussion / MAX-NC Wave pin mapping to Step & Direction

« on: March 15, 2007, 06:35:42 PM »

I can't figue out how to assign the printer port pins on my MAX-NC-10 (the open loop version) to the MACH 3 configuration page.

MAX-NC-10 uses four pins per stepper motor.  Step and Direction only gives me two pins per motor. 

Assuming that at least one forum user has a MAX-NC-10 working with MACH 3, can you please tell me how you did it?

Thank you
Brian

General Mach Discussion / Old MAXNC 10 newbie questions

« on: March 14, 2007, 10:37:52 PM »

Some years ago I bought a MAX-NC 10. 

From memory the software was for DOS, maybe WIN95 or 98.   I never used it but a friend did for a few small jobs.   I am now wanting to get the MAX-NC 10 out of mothballs and use it to cut small wood and soft metal parts in my small home workshop.  Will MACH 3 drive the MAX-NC-10 or is there something else?  Is TurboCAD compatible (makes DXF files just fine).  I use TurboCAD 11 for 2D drawing and previously used it to generate files for a ShopBot I had back when I had a big home workshop so I am not a complete novice but pretty close. 

I have not yet found a newbie forum here - so much to look at.  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Cheers
BrianT
