501 dsp pendant large files problem

[JAZZCNC]

Yep. Spoke to them this morning. They said the pendant 'reads' the files using internal memory. They couldn't offer a solution unfortunately. I expect it is very rare that anyone using these pendants wants to run a file this large. They are probably used mostly for 2d work I expect.

Sorry but that would be unacceptable to me. 128Mb is not a large file and the documentation says it reads directly from USB for large files and it clearly doesn't.! . . OR. . .You have it set wrong and it's not doing this.?

That said personaly I would convert to Mach3 and use External Ethernet motion control card if you want to use a Laptop. You'll have a lot more options and plenty of backup for the Tit's up moments.!

Yes I would be happy to convert to Mach 3. It's a question of either learning how to do it myself and the time that requires or, finding someone who would be willing to do it for me (hint, hint). I'm happy to pay, obviously.

My last known good file ran fine. This is a smaller file that hadn't been through the deskproto sub-segment process. So, it's either the pendant messing up larger files or the sub segment feature of deskproto messing things up. I guess if I run a larger file that hasn't been through deskproto sub-seg then that should give me a clue.
