Hello M_C

As far as I know the NEE controller looks after everything and just sends out the correct signals to the Axor drivers/amplifiers then onto the motors.

I would be in deep trouble right at the start, I have no programming experience, let alone C. Because the 1998 Nee controller and software has a graphic package within it, I did not need to know "C" or G-code, this is the reason I purchased the controller in the first place, there was not many options in those days. Little did I know that this dongle would fail on the first time of setting it up.

The state of play is that I need to configure the controller to the new setup. The Nee software is able to push this info into the controller. I have not hit the go button yet so I do not know what is going to happen. There is feed back software to the controller to tune the machine to the correct smoothness and motions.

The dongle problem I am working on at the moment, is because if I cannot take G-code from an outside source/cad model, there does not seem much point on going on with this project.
I keep getting a message that the LTP1 port is not working in the BOIS, yet a printer is able to use it but not the dongle.
In one part of the Nee software the message HAPtrCONV - handle out of range (0) comes up. I have no idea what this is, or how to put it right.

Looking on the net, it would seem that Rainbow - Sentinel - software - the dongle supplier seems to have been bought out by Thales, Round and round I go.
Just in case someone can help me sort out this dongle problem.


The dongle numbers are as follows RN-AK10023 - 80318C15548 - Dongle Nee number 262

IS there anyone out there who is using Nee Controllers??

Any help would be appreciated


kind regards
