Re: HELP CONNECTING VR TURNING TO NOVATURN NS
Regarding the "off the shelf" cable that works. You tech guys might know if this Null modem might mean anything?

Re: HELP CONNECTING VR TURNING TO NOVATURN NS
Hi, The serial cable you are using does not look to be the correct one. It should be a Black Lindy cable and is not an off the shelf serial cable. The cable should be a BI01812GG https://www.denfordata.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=765&p=23012&hilit=serial+rs232#p23012 https://www.denfordata.com/bb/v...

Re: HELP CONNECTING VR TURNING TO NOVATURN NS
Hi David, Really the machine should have connected with the lower Baud rate (its just a connection speed as such), it was the only difference I could see in the setup. but from what you found it must have been an issue in the installation. Your other machine with the USB connection will not use the...

Re: HELP CONNECTING VR TURNING TO NOVATURN NS

So great news. Many thanks for taking the time to suggest the different baud rate. For anyone else reading this...

Re: HELP CONNECTING VR TURNING TO NOVATURN NS
Hi Mitch, thank you for replying to my post. I changed it to 19200 from 57600! I thought that the figure had to be 19200? I read that on the forum in another post. Is there a different baud rate depending on the machine or cable used?? I am not a computer man so don't really understand this type of ...

You will need to connect to the machine, Then Right click on the banner at the top. Then go in to Advanced (Password is Dave). We used to set the Microturns to ...

Re: NOVATURN TOOL CHANGE POSITION.
Hi Martin, thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
The control software is VR CNC Turning V1.49.
For programs I have a copy of edgecam and use a post that's close and just edit it a little.

I decided to try to replace it but I am stuck at the point of getting the old belt past the Z ball screw! Would any ...
