Hi All,
So I have some questions and a story
I purchased a mini mill with an NGC controller and wanted probing buy could not afford the WIPS kit & was thinking I could get a Renishaw probe off Ebay which was cheaper... Due to my lack of experience and understanding of these things I have a probe OM2 receiver.
I eventually got the receiver and prob installed and can turn it on and off using the M69 and M59. It was like yes this is going to work. well when I tried to use the VPS page I get the you don't have 9000 Programs?
So here are the questions:
1.) It says in the WIPS manual a patch needs to be installed for WIPS? what is this patch & why would one need it?
2.) How can i buy the 9000 VPS programs? When i call my HFO I am told I need to purchase the WIPS kit but I don't want all the hardware I just can't afford it. in fact I can't afford to pay attention Garage Hobby User
Any case that's my long sad story full my over excitement and lack of understanding.
Andy Advice welcome
thanks
