Denford Software & Machines

Hello all!
I am using Linuxcnc that came with the machine and i am also using Easel as a CAM/CAD software.

I posted before about trying to figure out my old machine out. I managed to get the G code to load but .... Its showing me this. I use Easel for my designs but its clearly doing smth off unless its just me doing the config wrong or smth.

Additionally i am trying to home axis but its just telling me that switches are inactive with a grunt.

I can move the machine manually but im afraid config stuff feels like space magic x3

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Surely a noob like me can figure this old cranky elizabeth out.

It sounds like the control in your Router has been retro fitted by a third party.

It would have been supplied with a Baldor SmartStep or DenStep running Denford Software (Dos or VR CNC Milling).

I would look on a Linux cnc forum or contact whoever did the retro fit.

Hi Martin

I do believe it was retrofitted. It was an auction piece so its anyone's guess who did the retrofitting. I was (once I got more room) going to get a secondary computer and use either Mach3 or purchase a Denford control software. Linux gives me a headache trying to figure it out. If it helps ill post my control Box picture i took earlier.

Does any of this look fammiliar?

Thank you!

There is not much there that is Denford origional equipment.

Unfortunatley unless anyone recognises the control card fitted we will not be able to help.
