Time to bone up on reverse engineering skills. If it's operational, a meter/scope and structured commands may do. Non-Op-, board analysis by chip and trace? My 2%, maybe. **********************************************Has anyone here ever converted a Gerber Scientific Dimension 200 (D-200) to Linuxcnc?
It uses Gerber's ARCStation as a controller, that is connected by a 37 pin cable to the driver box, inside which is one large driver board and the power supply that drives the 3 stepper motors on the machine. I am sure that it would probably be easy to control with Linuxcnc if only I could find some clue to the wiring of the 37pin cable. That is an awful lot of wires for a simple 3 axis machine, But all of the documentation I can find has no wiring schematics, and are rather dumbed down (plug cable A into plug B...) with no real useful info.
