I haven't tried using PathPilot (PP) with any other equipment, but a few things come to mind. A custom firmware is loaded to a Mesa board (5 or 6i25) that handles a connection to a control board that uses a PIC microprocessor to interface some of the peripherals to PP. The .ini and .hal files would need to be edited to compensate for the methods used for the charge pump/tool number PWM signal and other signals. There are connection diagrams in the manuals that show the components and the connections: http://www.tormach.com/tormach_product_manuals.html Off hand, I would start with getting the .hal file load commands working, then edit signals to get e-stop working, then continue replacing or bypassing other signals. There should be a sim configuration that you can run to play with the UI. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
