Denford Software & Machines

Hello

I have a Denford MicroRouter and love it so picked up a MicroMill 2000 when one came up and this is where my problem lies.

The router works perfectly but the Micromill will not connect.

It is the legacy Denstep board and i am running VR milling version 5. The cable is from my Router which works fine.

Here are a few pictures showing what settings i am using.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

The MicroMill/MicroTurn use a different lead to connect to the machine. You will need what we call a pin to pin cable.

You can also swap the wires on pins 2 & 3 on the RS232 lead inside the machine.

Hi Martin

Thank you for getting back to me, that would explain it then.

I do have one of these cables lying around: https://www.lindy.co.uk/cables-adapters ... -p528/s670

Could i swap the pins over and use this maybe?

I'm not a 100% but Martin may be having a 'blonde' moment. Isn't pins 2 and 3 to swap over as they would be the tx/rx lines for RS232 or and here is why I'm not 100% does the micromill not run TX/RX on 2 and 3?

Cheers for the help guys.

Here is a picture of the inside of the 25pin connector.

Yes it's pins 2 & 3. (Changed original post).

You should be able to use the Lindy cable without making any changes.

Now this is the odd bit, my MicroRouter set up works perfectly but when i change the Denford Machine cable to the Lindy cable linked above it cannot connect to the MicroRouter??

I belled the cable out and it had a fault, used another cable and we are up and running.

Thanks guys for taking the time to help, time to make some chips.

Glad to hear that!

Great feeling to get things up n running !
