DDSCV1.1 3 and 4 axis offline motion controller

[magicniner]

Is there anyway to make the DDCSV2.1 work in inches rather than millimeters?

There might be but My CAM allows me to swap between measurement systems so I can POST code in inches even though I work in mm.

A few links to save others searching maybe: DDCSV2.1 doesn't yet seem to come up with UK ebay searches (still just the 1.1 version) but some 2.1 details and manual downloads are here and a USA ebay listing is here.

I use CAMBAM. It lets me change between inches and mm.

I already have many files created in inches. Changing them to mm instead of inches seems to make no difference.

When I try to run one in inches it seems to run in mm instead of inches.

My spindle is calibrated to move 25.4mm to get 1in of travel, so assume if I increased my numbers 25.4 times I would get what I want. Except I don't want to go through my files and convert them manually.

Am I missing something to get files to run at a 1 on the display = 1in ???

Thanks for your responses so far guys!

Does the code have a G20 in it?

Here are the first few lines of one of the files.

In the links in post #229 is a download for the English manual. On page 80 there is parameter #115 0=metric,1=imperial.

I don't find parameter #115 in my parameter page.

I don't find parameter #115 in my parameter page.

I have tried installing the latest firmware listed in that post but I don't have parameter 114 or 115 and possibly others.

I am guessing I am running an older version of the firm ware even though my disply says Ver: 2017-04-16-IM NOR

Can this controller home a dual ballscrew Y axis independently? I've thought about buying it a few times.
