Hi, I am extremely new to the cnc world and have a program that is too large to go on a floppy to load into my 2001 VF3. The cnc also would not have enough memory for the program even if the floppy was big enough. I'm told to "drip feed" the program to the cnc but I'm clueless on how this works. I did find two "serial ports" on the back of the VF3, do I use one of those? I also need to know what to buy for my computer to hook the cable up to.
I have a 2001 Haas VF3 with a floppy disk setup and a LG desktop computer that I run Gibbs 2016 with.
Could someone walk me thru how to set this up and what I will need to buy?
Please understand I suck at computers.. ( I know, pretty stupid to try and run a cnc with limited computer knowledge but I'm slowly learning)...
