I will disassemble it later.
Does PNC-3000 use quadrature encoder?
If so, it would be easy to fix.

That would be nice, but I want to run it without modifications first.
If it's too difficult, I'll use raspberry pi or arduino to run it.
I want to use it to make parts for machine.Maybe even make a model.I might even make a model.
Maybe I will make a model someday.

I think the PNC-3000 hardware is good and will be converted to CNC for use. Even if it cannot be fixed.

Seriously, bypass the arduino/pi business, the cut down G-Code instruction set is a right hash-up and results in something you think is fine but that anyone with a decent controller wouldn't even consider.

Ok, I'll do the conversion with a decent controller.

Good afternoon ! Do you have service notes in electronic form?

I have become old since starting this conversation back in 2011. What I have and do not have is a complete mystery to me.

There is a Roland PNC-3000 group on Facebook, you might try there.

I have a PNC-3200 that I may be going down a similar road with. I am missing the cable that connects the machine to the controller and I would like to test it out as it came before tearing into it.

Can anybody help with a cable diagram/ pinout?

Thanks!
