Hello,

I'm attempting to write software for use with a Galil DMC motion controller. This is my first experience with VB programming and considering my age it has become quite apparent that I started too late in life. I would be very grateful if someone would provide me with a comprehensive example of how to read a line of G code and write a line of another code.

Thanks.

 

Hello,

Are you programming in VB or in GCode? There is a difference... If you are looking for VB examples in how to setup communications to a Galil, send commands, and receive responses look here first for a joystick-use example:

Other examples may be available if you email [email protected].

For GCode translation examples to a Galil, contact the support group at Camsoft Inc.: http://cnccontrols.com/support.asp

They deal directly with GCode translation to Galil controllers.
