Maybe simple question CUT2D wurde erstellt von sjorzzzie
If i set my artwork in CUT2D and set all preferences (Dept of various toolpaths, drilling toolpaths, inlay toolpaths) in one design and export it (WinPC-NC ATC Arcs MM *.nc) to WINPC-NC does it import all depth/heights of the toolpaths? Or do i need to set the layers again with depth and speed (like the starter brochure explains in WINPX_NC)?
I hope you get my question.

Yes it does. The .NC file has all the code needed to cut your toolpath as you defined it.

Hi,
do you use the "starter" version of WinPC-NC?
In this case: it cannot open .nc files ("g-code") but requires .plt (HPGL) instead.

So i used "Generic HPGL Arcs (mm) (*.plt) but is only exports one cut layer and has a weird starting point. I use WinPC-NC Starter

MagIO2 antwortete auf Maybe simple question CUT2D
Starter only allows 2 layers. Two layers means the first 2 tools in EstlCAM. The layers can be en-/disabled with the small numbers below the menu bar.
The starting point can be changed somewhere in the WinPC settings.

There is no problem, however simple, that cannot be made more complicated by thinking about it.

You can upgrade from Cut2D to VCarve according to the

Hi,
the limiting factor in this case is WinPC-NC.
You either need to upgrade WinPC-NC or use a different control software altogether.
(By the way Estlcam has a built in CNC controller - it just requires an Arduino UNO.)

Hi
If it were my choice I would go with UCCNC every time. This accepts standard Gcode commands as well as DXF files
Easy to learn, use and configure, and uses a USB to parallel converter "dongle" that does all the high speed control wizardry. This relieves the host PC/Laptop of a huge processing load so you can use a very low spec machine. I personally use an old refurbished Dell 610 running XP professional just to run my SC 420/2 - I was therefore able to strip out a lot of unnecessary software to make it as bomb proof as possible.
I have no connection to this software other than being a satisfied user.

Well ... the argument with the USB 2 parallel does not really count, because that's exactly what the WinPC USB board is doing as well ... same is true for EstlCAMs Arduino board.
I use EstlCAM + Arduino with an old Netbook.
Prices:
WinPC update 200€ + EstlCAM 35€
EstlCAM 35€ + Arduino 35€
UCCNC + UCCNC USB board ?

In June last year UCCNC + UC100 USB controller cost me £75, with the parallel card costing £10 - a total of about 115 Euros. To that must be added the dreaded VAT at 20% in UK!!
Total 138 Euros or thereabouts.

Hi
Use the .DXF output format - this imports straight into UCCNC.
The basic UCCNC software can be downloaded for free and run in simulation mode. The UC100 controller comes with a license file which is recognised by UCCNC and sets up communication with the controller. All the basic operations are very obvious on the opening screen and these will be common to most small CNC machines.
What makes it special to the Stepcraft is the configuration file which defines mechanical and electrical parameters such as steps/unit(mm), maximum stepping speed, acceleration, soft limits etc.
Almost all the information you may need is on the UCCNC website .

If I disconnect the Stepcraft from my computer and then start Win PC NC Starter, I CAN load *.nc files from Cut2D into WinPC-NC. But then the application operates in the demo mode and won't conect to the router on plugging in the router cable afterwards. In short: Win PC NC CAN read *.nc data but the Starter version lacks the licence to do so when connected to the Stepcraft.
The Cut2D manual states that some routers can directly be driven from Cut2D IF the right driver is present on the PC.
I have not yet tried to do so on my machine.
