    RS-232 Trouble! Ancient Dyna Mechtronics Mill.

    Your probably going to have to go on ebay and buy a rs-232 jump box with red and green lights on it to see if your voltage changes + or - You might have to ditch the USB and go with a PC. USB only has 5 volts. When you do get it working then you can try the USB connection.

    Mitsubishi M64S Rigid tapping

    You might need to remove the F.05 and change it to a P20 for pitch (1/4-20) I would have to look at my M80 control to be sure.According to what you programed you got 20,000 threads per inch.Might be to much for control to do.

    Major problem when sending G Code via RS 232 to Haas

    Maybe it's time to look at a 3.5 floppy drive conversion to usb stick.

Their are lots of HAAS's out there where I think for a couple of hundred dollars you...

    BROTHER TC-229 A00 CONTROL

    You will be able to tell if it is a G code machine by the keypad. If it has the alphabit on it you have a G code machine. I have a 227 which is a lot older (I think 1991 vintage ). Manual says if you have a G code you also have conversational. Try a G1 X1.0 Z.5 or a Y and Z move. This will...
