Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DynaMechtronics CNC conversion, friend needs help..

Doug,

I only know something about one model of Dyna, the 2400C.
If you have this one then you can indeed do offline programming.
either upload or download programs or drip feed.
You only need the Quickbasic program listed in the Dyna docs to upload,
download and dripfeed.
There are at least 2 CAM systems that can Post the unusual Dyna file format.
Mastercam and Powerstation.

Don't get me wrong an upgrade is not a bad idea. I just thought that you
might be unaware of the existing features.

Also Dyna used to offer a trade up price to a PC Gcode based machine ($$$)
