Post Files... What are they and how do they work??
« on: November 20, 2010, 09:25:01 PM »
Hi,

I recently made a CNC machine and now can't get it to work with mastercam or any other free CADCAM software.

I am using a phidgets 4-motor controller it is interfaced with the computer via USB.

There is a VB.NET example program with source but I don't know what the next step is, do I need to make a post file?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Have you looked at some videos?
CNC Machine videos - Google search
I like the one about how to make a CNC from two old CD drives. 8)

Oh, about POST files for CNC. Let me direct you to another forum...
