Thanks that is a good idea. Just looked at the version I am running and it is 2.14... So a little out of date. I will give it a shot!

OK I figured it out. For those who may find this later there is a "turbo" mode that needs to be enabled in the auto run. Why it is not enabled from the beginning I don't know.

So doing a little more reading it sounds like data starvation. I am going to check the baud rate settings... Does anybody have the recommended settings for VR milling 2? Baud rate, stop bits, polling delay? Any other suggestions? I will also try a new cable though I wouldn't think it would be the pr...

Hi all, I am just running my first program on my new triac using VR milling 2. My problem is the machine decelerates after each line of code and comes to a stop... Then accels to the next line resulting in a jerky motion. Is there a setting I am missing in VR milling 2 to set this to constant veloci...

Might as well post a pic of the new machine

It is a 1995 triac PC with the serial number EO4595.

I went in and modified the machine feed rate parameters to match the values in the manual. Is this OK? Why was it not like this originally? Seem...

I know this is an old post, but is it possible to edit the g-code in fanucsmd if it is larger than 64kb? I have figured out how to run a large file, but not edit it.

For those who stumble upon this in the future, this issue was fixed by downgrading the operating system to dos 7.1. I was unable to get the program to run in a dos emulator.

Hi all, I need some help. I recently acquired an older micromill [Smartstep Mint 3.28 V1.6h/S-JD5] and I have been successful up to this point. So far I have installed the software and connected to the machine. My problem lies when I go to home the machine I get a Error - Controller Communications. ...
