DDCSV1.1 4 Axis controller
<< < (36/202) > >>
Cncdane:
Just bought this, and this has become a bit of a nightmare for me. I really like the feel of the controller, but whenever I try to run a programme, will it stop after a few lines, and the controller stays busy and speed goes to zero. Most often, I have to power cycle the controller to make it respond to the buttons. I can reset, but most often can I not even jog the axises. Restarting or resuming the program just make the controller go busy.

I have not wired up the controller to my CNC (got no endstops, and fears a  crash, given the problems I have so far). Am I missing something?

Tried code generated with several post processors from Fusion360, as well as F-Engrave, and the outcome is the same.

I also just bought this, and it takes time to learn it. but i'm still moving forward.

I am not using a code generator (yet?) but my manually written gcode works just fine.
Have you installed the latest update?

I have no idea how to get the bootloader to do anything more than to try to boot from USB, there is absolutely no documentation on it and I am not able to get it's source code nor can I actually dump the bootloader. I would not be surprised if it actually resides in a mask rom in the CPU.

I don't doubt your analysis but nonetheless I am somewhat surprised that they would go for a masked ROM - would it have been done on the grounds of cost/volume production? or as a security protection?
I was involved in this sort of production many years ago and there was a high risk seen for having a large stock of junk in the event that the ROM program needed modification - but that was a good few years ago and the economics have probably changed a lot since then...

If you provide me an email address i send you some testing files that works great with this controller, so opening them with notepad will give you an idea, or you can compare them with the non working one and find the "strange G-Code".
Attached you can find a file, just rename it as (.tap) and load into the controller.
it works
1) select the file you want to load
2)press "START" instead of "ENTER", that will start the controller in "simulate" mode, so you can see the path before you start the machine.
3)be patient, if is a long file you have to wait, is not the faster controller on earth
4)press"START" again, then the machine will start
5)have a coffee and watch you machine working as aspected... :coffee:
If not then your controller is not set properly or it has a problem
keep us posted
