Hi All,
I would like to thank all that contributed to this thread, it give me some inside into this box before I bought it. The contribution to Chinglisch=>English translation is greatly appreciated.
I bought the the X6-1500GT from carving-cnc (now it is called Omiocnc) some 3 years ago, similar to this https://www.omiocnc.com/products/x6-2200l-usb.html but 1.5kW spindle. The machine is well made mechanically for hobby work more than enough. The controller box is ok apart from the usb card / Windows + Mach3. It started to skip steps, the motors would stall, looks like noise or breaks in communication somewhere... I never find out what was the cause, after I got windows update reset the pc in the middle of the job I had enough.
I pull the trigger and got DDCSV1.1. Old Dell PC provided the case, rest I butchered from old CNC controller box.
Here are the pics of the old controller https://goo.gl/photos/Fn9C33iL88yi99XT9
And the new one with DDCSV:

So far so good. I think everything is working. I am missing the ATC function from mach 3 with 2 sensor plates setup, one fixed and one mobile. I have yet to figureout the following:
1) Probe mode 1 operation and the tools offset, how to use it. Currently I am using Mode 2 which behaves as I expect, it resets Z to 0 using the mobile probe.
2) My Home (x=0,y=0 machine coord) point is on the left and back of the table. Y axes home switch was convenient to put at the back. In Mach3 I could setup coordinates to Home other than 0 but I do not thin I can do it with DDCSV. As a result The machine travels to Home once at the beginning of the job and twice at the end... It may be the Post-processor I am using. (Aspire, with Fanuc post.)

I cut simple holder for ER16 collets, pics are at the end of the new CNC box album.

Hi, I have a omio X6 2200, just bought, and first of everything I throw away the Cnc card, is useless, it was give me continuous error and stop the job in the middle of the operation so I got a 4 axis Ddcsv1.1 as you, but I'm struggling to find out how the mode1 of the probe works..... By the way, playing around with the controller at the beginning, I managed to delete the main program, so I downloaded one from a link provided by a member of the forum, but now I have a 3 axis machine and I cannot find the right firmware... Anyway, good job, and if you manage to find out about the probe keep us posted, I'm working on the parameters "tool offset" to find out what they are, as they are not mentioned anywhere in the manual.
Regards,
Emanuel

Maciej,

Ideally a Mach3 PC shouldn't be connected to the outside world at all. Mine is running XP with no antivirus, no updates enabled, no internet or network connection. I load code from a USB stick. Even then, plugging in a USB stick mustn't be done whilst a CNC job is running.

I can see the appeal of a stand alone controller and if I was starting from scratch now it's probably the way I'd go.

Phil.

Wait as second, that sounds really interesting. I thought the version I got was for a 4-axis machine. If you are really right that would mean we could upgrade machines by just replacing motion.out with a 4-axis version. Anyone with a 4-axis machine, could you please copy motion.out and email me that one to contact [at] bmuessig [dot] eu

I will compare and see what I can do.

By the way, pretty nice results, Merlin!

So I have made progress on my CNC and sent the machining files to the company who does laser cuts. It will be a 1 mm stainless steel panel.
About the extra buttons, I forgot to add them, but I am fine with a few more button presses.

Also in my new translation I have fixed the meaning of the GotoZ and Zero commands. They now tell you that they are for either setting one axis to a custom value or for going to a custom value. And there are still the options to Goto zero or to set zero. Pretty easy to understand now :)
