Hello All,
I am a total newbie to all this stuff, but I was wondering if any of you had any luck with programming the Bridgeport Interact 4 from a PC? It has a Heidenhain TNC150 controller. Now I know this is pretty ancient (or at least it is to me), but it does have what looks like some kind of serial or parallel port on the side. According to the manual this is for a tape reader or something, but programming it by hand is a right pain, and if you can send G-code or something to it from some software on my laptop, that would be much (much) easier.
Anyway, I hope this isn't a duplicate of a post that is already on here, and if any of you have an idea on how I could get my laptop talking to the mill, that would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Rob
