Fanuc commands for Starmill PC
Posted: Thu 29 Sep , 2011 19:09 pm
Following on from the threads mentioned below where I am trying to get a great piece of equipment and software working:
viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3445
or
viewtopic.php?f=45&t=2517
I tried again tonight.
I simply did not attach the desktop tutor keyboard (because there is no port yet until I buy a twin port card) and I am hoping the keyboard is optional??
All other leads and dongle etc were set up as you guys have recommended.
I am making progress, but I am stuck at getting the software to start the milling of the test design created and coded.
I have used the milling software to store the code created.
I stored the info as .fnc and all the other formats.
I then tried to open the .fnc data and the computer asked me what software to use to open the data with, so I chose Fanuc, but was prompted with bad command.
So I opened the Fanuc software on its own, it opens with the prompt c:\denford>
What do I type after that?
I have tried DATA\ABC.FNC where abc.fnc was the design saved as g-code.
And it says bad command.
I tried a lot of commands I could think of. I searched the internet for "Fanuc commands" etc, but failed.
I tried to photograph the computer screen with a keyring camera (my ‘phone does not have a camera) and I can try to upload those if it would help anyone kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
