Chris, I hope that factory is paying you a generous consulting fee for doing there bug smashing and development.

Hi Bill,

Glad to see you are still making stuff as well. What are you using the DDCSV for? I got mine to finish the little mill I started back years ago, but then a MAHO 400E came up, so that project is again on the back burner.

Hey Mark,

I built a CNC router (X-carve). It's working pretty well for that, although I would like a more robust CNC controller. The DDCSV is great, but I do wish they'd release an updated, improved model of it.

Ok everyone,

Here is the latest firmware with updated English for the new features and a new motion planning algorithm. This is far smoother and adds line 113 and 123, its now leveraging the FPGA for ARC interpolation, and resolution can now be set to 0.001 on line 123. X,Y,Z can all now have different steps per mm and produce a correct arc. To try this set line 113 to software and line 123 to .001 try some code with line 113 on and off and let me know. The new motion will not stop/pause for transitions from g01 to g03 making a smooth CV like path.

I believe you just extract the zipped file onto a USB drive, insert into the controller (turned off), then power up the controller.

BTW John, love your bearded dragon!! <3  I've got an iguana myself.

I think I worked it out,  copied the contents to the Data folder of the origional install ,  all seems to be OK now,  have the new settings showing   :D

Limited testing, but does seem smoother and does allow me to use 300 ppm   :thumbup:

Hi! I flashed this firmware to my cnc and have a problem with arcs.
Here is short gcode and video:

gcode: https://gist.github.com/arrowcircle/30017c506a6883d7ab227eae4f3af698
video:


Problem is, when it makes second tab it does not stop and goes additional 360 degrees without lifting a tool.

Is this a bug? Or do I doing something wrong?

It's not a problem. Tell me, why raise the instrument? To make the program run longer?

It is a problem. My cnc goes through material. In this example its only 1mm. I catched that bug on 16mm of depth and broken the tool.

Hi chriscnc
It seems ther is some problem with arc interpolation in last original firmware due to not calculate the backlash during movments.. is it the new firmware fix this problem?

Problem is it ignores safe height and just move tool for a full circle instead of making a pod

see the settings of the processing strategy of your CAM system. Point out that the tool should be taken to the initial height after the operation is completed. Your problems are the result of incorrect programming.

Please try to simulate gcode I sent and compare it with video - they are really different, look on second tab. This is not a problem of CAM. Same GCODE on different controller works fine and equal to simulation.

I saw your code, you do not have a gap in the G code between the cuts to a safe height. The cutter, after passing through the circle, is deepened by 1 mm and cuts further. At me your code is fulfilled exactly as you programmed it. Learn or change your CAM system. Either manually add lines containing a lift to a safe height

I dont know how you seen the video and simulation. In simulation on the second tab it moves through the tab for 30 degrees, however in video it moves for 390 degrees. And please read my problems. Same code on another controller works fine and exactly like in simulation.

So please dont advice to check CAM settings, its controller related problem.

BTW, dunno if you saw "https://ncviewer.com/" written by one of the Fusion boys. Quick and simple way to check out your toolpaths.
