Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: dxf to gcode to Galil DMC software

Hi George,
I also have several stand alone DMC-730 three axis
controllers. These can be bought for very little money
on ebay. They are good controllers. I currently use
Galils old software "G Code to DMC" its ok, but its
not any where close to a comercial setup. If you like
I can send you a copy of the software. I could also
send you a 730 unit if you would like to play around
with it.
I have all of galils drivers for the 1000 series
controllers as well as the 730 so hopefully I can get
your software to comunicate with each.
I'm looking forward to testing your software.
I'll let you know how I come out.
Shawn
