Great news NeoTech. Have you got an image (& instructions) so you could restore it again - just in case? Phil. |
| NeoTech:
No at the moment i haven't even got a proper serial cable or computer that can talk to it.. So need to get me some USB "UART" emulator. i tried with one of those RS232 in a cable thingys.. But they dont have RTS/CTS - so it will not work with the flow control in the machine.. bummer.. So at it again looking for a FL232RL based FTDI chipset. I found something on sparkfun that will maybe work, but not sure yet. Gonna need to source it from sweden so i can return if its a dud. *cheapskate* Anyway; image of my now continiously shrinking workshop can be found here. http://www.roughedge.se/blogg/2016/03/20/making-space-getting-the-mill-in-place/ |

That's not too bad, there's quite a bit of floor still visible :ddb: Would an old Panasonic Toughbook be any use to you? It has RS232. I retired one a while back - I used to use it to drip feed the CNC machines but now I have all the cables hard wired back to the workshop desk top. It's the rugged variety used by the various utiites for testing and field logging. I think it's running Vista Yours for the postage. |
| NeoTech:
That could actually work pretty well. Running vista means it can run something newer as well. I will PM you an adress, and you could check shipping? =) |
