Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

Good afternoon! We are located in the US and yeah, we have the cable that came with the machine. I was suspecting that could be the problem earlier, but have been reassured that this was the original cable. All right, after poking at it some more! Looks like we got it to home ONCE. the Z axis didn't...

Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

We found that there was a registration DISK that we missed rather than the specified dongle. It works! Can anyone tell me the serial communications info (baud rate, parody, stop bits, data bits, hw flow, sw flow)? We tried 9600/4800/100 with the rest default, but got gibberish. I found this post: ht...

Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

@Steve, When you say that you risk problems above 34v dc/28v ac, do you mean powered into the motor? As said above, it appears that, by design, the board takes 29v.

Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

Thanks guys. Paying for the software is definitely totally out of the question (unless I get a pleasant surprise on a very low price). It was purchased from an auction and definitely that is all we're gonna get. We have the software, but not the dongle needed to go with the software. Upon plugging i...

Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

You guys are awesome. I was thinking about playing w/ the driver board and just making a controller for it, but figured that i'd be in about the same place w/ the project.. A device that most of the software I can find wouldn't support. Cool! An essentially not particular voltage requirement would e...

Re: Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

To add to this. We are not opposed to preserving the hardware already in place, if anyone has any inexpensive solutions to getting this thing hooked to a computer and running, but unfortunately as more of a hobby project, it is out of our budget to do anything at all expensive like having it mailed ...

Micromill 2000 - Stepper specs

Hello and thanks for accepting me to the forum! ^_^ My father and I are trying to breathe some life into a micromill 2000 (smartstep 3 with a denMENT 2.0b controller) and are missing the software to do so. We don't have the correct Denford software key for it, and it appears that the serial interfac...
