Group,
Haven't checked what's available in stepper contol software lately.
My last stepper projects were done with Indexer LPT. As far as I
know, Indexer still doesn't support feedrate override, does it?
Indexer does have look ahead so you can get continuous contouring (no
dwells between motion commands). I think most of the low end
packages are weak in continuous contouring.
Cutter radius comp would be nice , but not necessary for this project.
Needs to run under DOS. Must support at least 4 axis.
Anything on the market that meets these specs? Note: I don't know
anything about EMC, but it's probably more effort in implementation
than I want right now.
Thanks,
Doug
