How to make Jedicut universal
Posté : dim. mars 04, 2012 3:14 pm
Development idea :
Background : There is an explosion of new low cost CNC controller boards coming from all over the world (mostly from china)
Problem: Many times it is a real challenge making them work with Jedicut.
Solution:
1) Every new 4 axis controller board comes with instructions of how to make it work with Mach3
2) A limited used Mach3 is FREE and anyone can download it.
3) User will get his/her machine to work all 4 axis under Mach3 and create a 'profile'
4) In Jedicut, ask the user for the location of his Mach3 and name of 'profile'.
5) Have Jedicut call the Mach3 DLL with all the correct parameters from the 'profile' (the SDK is open and free to download a version of the DLL works on all windows)
Now the fantastic Jedicut is sure to work with ALL boards that work under Mach3 (99.99%)....
Do you accept the 'challenge' ?
