Bridgeport R2E4 file transfer instructions and cable info is in this thread

[tallcar]

We, our company purchased one of these fine machines, and have had quite the learning curve getting the machine to accept programs thru the com port on the back of the machine.

We are currently writing up documentation of exact specific keystrokes to transfer a program from a Win98 PC with a serial port to the CNC.

In the near future we are going to try to run a program thru the com port from a Win10 machine, using a Virtualbox. You gotta have a serial port and those are only on older machines, but you can add a serial card.

We will post pin configs and step by step keystrokes for file transfer of smaller files, in the days to come.

Stay tuned..

Regards

Richard

If anyone is curious, we have gotten thru the process of transferring files to the machine, we did not drip feed or DNC as it is called but did the actual transfer of files..

Anyone interested in the procedure?
