Here are my questions I have submitted to towens@nextwaveautomation.com... with no response..
1. What are the LED’s on the front of the controller box for?
found this in a post in here... thanks.
2. On the back of the controller box, there is an extra D-9 connector… what’s that for?
3. On the back of the controller box, there is an AC outlet… is that for the router to be controlled?
a. If so – does that outlet simply turn on & off to control the router when the program is running?
b. If not - how does it work?
I found in here that the AC outlet is definately for the router but not how it actually works. Does it require a step in the g-code to turn on? ...does that outlet simply turn on & off to control the router when the program is running? I have tried connecting the router to this plug (insured the router is on
), but it does not do it's thing! I saw somewhere the firmware may not be correct...how do you know what formware is in the controller?4. I see the SD card slot... but what is the small round black jack for?? it sorta looks like a head phone 1/8" jack...
5. You mention the PRO+ is capable of using a pendant… but I cannot find much more info… can you offer anything more on this?
Could not find much here on this.
6. I am also very interested in the tracing ‘probe’… can you offer any additional comments on this device??
a. How does it work?
b. Requires special software.. (obviously)
c. Limitations?
I have not had the time to look for this info... sorry...
7. Other trim routers that will fit the z axis?
I have made the three axis jog, and run the square sample program... so I consider it a good start!
I'm really looking forward to creating chips! (..yeah the instructions are definately lacking...)
