Re: Honest Appraisal of UCCNC
an interesting topic- and nice to see a few long term names on it ger and terry
im just fitting uc300 to a 7 ton router- with a 2 ton gantry- just for the fun of it!
ive been using galil/mach3 for last 4 years thought it was time to try something different.
im going to do all my testing with uccnc own software.
i chose this setup due to trajectory planner promises. time will tell how good it is.
first moves yesterday- delighted with smoothness.
im using mitsubishi j2s servos . 32768 encoder steps/rev.
i was pleased that at the end of a program run my drives were displaying exactly the same number they started with. - perfect!
i would have liked to see a few more things added, like g41/42. however these days i only use them rarely- unlike on the old controls.
z arcs would have also been nice- as i do use these on rotary axis .
but- to get a scrap machine back up and running for £150 control- it looks very promising so far.
ive purchased mach4 licence- but at this time it is of no use to me. due to plugins required not being released.
so much to learn, so much to pass on.
