Hello novamill desk top tutor advice please
Posted: Tue 12 Sep , 2017 10:08 am
Hello, this is my first post on this forum. I have been looking at all the information on the site for a while now but I feel it's time I joined because I will more than likely need some help with my project.
I have recently bought a denford novamill in great condition. It did not come with the black box containing the electronics so I'm currently re building one.
The machine came with the desktop tutor keyboard and millcam designer v2 on floppy disk.
I haven't decided on what direction to go with the project yet, but I like to make things and I not afraid of a challenge. I've installed linuxcnc on an old computer and have been figuring out how it works, and I've also had a play around with pathpilot to get the feel of how that works too.
My first plan was to try to use the desk top tutor as an operator panel for linuxcnc/pathpilot but I'm wondering if there's a better way to use this item? Maybe with its original software?
Many thanks!
Lee
