DDCSV1.1 4 Axis controller
Muzzerboy:
John S - did you see / consider these Tomatech controllers too?http://tomatech-cnc.com/PicDetail.aspx?ColumnId=96&ArticleId=626&Language=36&Terminal=41 They look pretty powerful too.
Go on, tell us it's one of the controllers you've bought to try out...

Very similar Murray but there web site is shite, they show the same controller for everything. Even the two axis lathe has fives axis on the Acer.
Many of these people are just resellers. We bought direct from the factory.
Joules:
A word of caution whilst playing with the controller. I managed to delete my system file on the controller. The MODE button acts as delete when on the file page. The system keeps running till you reboot, then it has no system, or missing part to boot. I was very concerned that system files have no write protection. Fortunately I was able to rebuild the system files on the controller from my second 4 Axis controller. This is really a WARNING, that you can potentially brick your controller by playing about, especially if you only have the one. I hadn't made backups of the files, I have now, but still need to reset all my preference settings. If you look at the end of the manual, it does say how to update the firmware, I followed that procedure to reinstall the system files.
Starting to learn lots more about these things, such as selecting a file using START runs the G-Code in simulation mode. Very useful to test your code for errors and see how it displays on the tool path screen.

Hi Joules, My DDCSV1.1 arrived today. Very quick delivery from a German supplier (8 days & also via Parcel Motel in Belfast).
I note that the power requirements are 18 to 32 volts. The other PSU/Driver/Steppers have a 36V PSU but it can be adjusted down to 32 V.
All seems good so far.
Now its just a time to: RTFM! RTFM!! RTFM!!!
The MPG controller is on the sloooow boat!
Will be interesting to compare/contrast it to the SMC4-4!!
I hope ye all know what RTFM means??
NeoTech:
I have considered one of these prefabbed controllers as well because USB cnc cards is just a effing headache.. I was looking into this one for a plasma table.
