Please PM me if you want a copy - or are able to host it 'somewhere'. No idea if it is good or not but it might help someone out - maybe Benedikt or someone more Linux-savvy can check it out. BTW, its for the 4 axis version.

[emanuel(063) (at)][outlook](dot)[com] Thank you so much, i can manage to upload the files in a host and nake them available for all Regards Emanuel --- End quote --- Hello! You can download the version Simon sent me from here: http://data.bmuessig.eu/CNC/DDCSV11/install-stock-2016061080.zip I am already hosting the file so that anybody can download it. The 3 and 4 axis controllers use the same firmware. Regards, Benedikt --- End quote --- Thanks a lot!!!! :beer: So: if the 3/4 axis are the same firmware, why we pay the difference between the 2 controllers? There's a flag somwhere that tell to the controller which is 3 and which is 4 axis for sure, as the electronic board and output connectors and signal are the same..... :doh: Am i wrong? Cheers... Emanuel --- End quote --- You are welcome. No, you are absolutely right. There is just a flag that sets whether it is a 3 or 4 axis controller. This is either a simple digital flag/setting, a change in the linux image (which could be changed) or a simple solder bridge on the PCB. The hardware for the other axis is there. The backside of the unit simply says NC for the A-axis pins on the 3-axis controller. I will look some more into this and possibly into finding an easy way to upgrade 3 to 4 axis controllers. --- End quote --- I wonder if the difference is just the label, chinese often do that, they are not expecting normal people opening the control box and change things, but we are not normal people :) !!!!!! So...... i will open the box and check, but i'm pretty sure i'm right, i will post pictures of what i find out soon. Many thanks for now, Regards Emanuel --- End quote --- As you can see in the menu, there is the A axis box. it is simply empty on the 3 axis model. The settings for the A axis are all present on the 3 axis model. I don't know if the 3-axis model still parses the A axis gcode commands. This is yet to be found out. But yes, there is a simply flag. Finding out where it is stored is probably rather easy. I will disassemble the rest of the firmware now and have a closer look. When they manufacture it, they simply use the 4 axis board, set the flag (using either uart or through USB or maybe even with button presses) and then stick the 3 axis label on. Let's try something crazy! Anybody with a 4-axis machine. Could you copy me the linuxrc file that sits at / of the internal file manager. Use [FRO] to copy and [2ND] to paste. Also I just found out the FPGA is mapped to /dev/motion I can't wait to dump the entire flash. --- End quote --- I'll Try, hope i don't delete all the firmware, as is very easy to do with just pressing the "MODE" button... --- End quote --- Well if you accidentially do, don't power down the machine. I can send you a 3 axis replacement so it would still boot. But thank you for trying it. So I have made some progress myself, not with the firmware, but with my actual CNC. I connected the new stepper drivers and it works perfectly :D |

I connected the new stepper drivers and it works perfectly :D --- End quote --- That's a good new, but the controller works perfectly, you will be pleased with it, much better than Mach3, clean pulse and fast response, the only problem is that accept Fanuc G.code most than everything, so i suggest you to be very careful before you run the machine with some metal under the spindle :bang: .... I ordered this motor and controller set, as i am not happy at all for the stepper motors, there's even an alternative cheaper chinese one, but i choose the good one. after pushing my cnc to the limit i realized that i need Brushless for the best accuracy, i'll keep you posted as soon as i have them at work..... https://www.teknic.com/products/clearpath-brushless-dc-servo-motors/ Cheers Emanuel |

Hi all, Any progress diassembling the DDCSV1.1 linux image? |

He's probably got that confused trying to keep up with 25,852 quoted messages :wave: |

Give him a break John, he's only just joined and is learning the ropes :med: |
