It looks like VR Turning still support an RS232 tutor input
Does any one know just what the tutor sends over the RS232?
Thinking about building a custom keyboard/MPG with something like an Arduino to send out the correct code over a comport to push into VR Turning

Re: Desk-top Tutor Keyboard RS232 Protocol
I have a tutor keyboard for the Mill, I use it on my lathe. It is one of the early ones that has the stuck on overlay (later ones you just slid out the key layout for lathe and put the mill one and vise versa) I just looked in the book and worked out what key should be what.
If you tell me how to test it I can. I have PC's running XP with RS232 ports so can hook it up. I never went this far into RS232 to actually see what was actually sent so don't know how to see that.
