Hi Ken

Do you still use the GPS Nee software to import any new G-code into the Nee controller or have you managed to work around this problem.
I'm interested to know as I also have a North East Electronics 6 axis controller, which is still working, micro stepping was a very expensive new technology
You are not kidding.

I have the licensed dongle, which has stopped working. It is really frustrating when a bit of software costing £400 "then" has stopped a machine costing £10,000 and I can do nothing about fixing it.

Because I cannot import some G-code into the software, it makes the controller and the whole machine unusable,
Odd that you mention 486, I remember them, that was my first CAD machine. I wonder if that is the problem, I've upgraded my computer speed but still running windows 98s
Any help on the matter, from anyone would be very appreciated.

Machine still in use today although now on 4th router head and computer upgraded from old 286 to 486 running windows 95.

Sorry to jump into your opening membership speech with my rantings.

all the best

Hi Montegoman,

yes still using nee software and controller and the security device is still functioning. The machine is now a bit long in the tooth but still working. Programs were all written out by hand - no cam software at the time (at least that I could have afforded then.)
Some of the G codes are different than the latest ones - G81 for instance.
I have noticed that the cam routines generated are quite long to take into account the speed of the latest machines, nothing like the short compact routines I had to come up with because of slow speed of the software inside my skull.
