Re: DYNA 2400 SOFTWARE

The problem I was having was with the Class I am using to talk to
the serial port. (.NET has no built in Class for this) The string
method included doesn't work the way I though it should, so not I'm
reading one charecter out of the buffer at a time and that works
ok. This has highlighted the need to include a log file feature
that logs responeses recieved for each line as it's sent out. The
Dyan controller just resets itself on some errors leaving you
wondering where it was at in the code. This may also allow one to
resume at a certain spot in the code.

The big problem now is genertaing good code over 900 lines to test
it with. I can't seem to find the correct post processer file for
MasterCam and the Dyna 2400c controller. Seems to flip out on some
of the GR a moves.

sends signal back to your computer (I monitored this process on the
R232 breakout box). It's waiting for codes and increment on the
controller as data being sent from your program. The rate is 2400-8-
1, if this help. On MasterCam you can start from 000 and increment
the step +1 on the post process.
