Bridgeport Boss 9 R2E4 convertion

Did you get rid of the drives? What drives are you plan on using?

Advanced motion control drives. 25A20 I don't have the original drives.

Three drives for the original dc servos?

Yes,

Interesting conversion. I've done 2 Bridgeport Boss conversions, they all went smooth. Your doing alot more work then I did.

I scrapped the entire electric cabinet. Used Geko 203v drivers on the original stepper motors. Removed the old-fashioned pinball control panel and fitted that with a lcd screen. Both machines worked flawless after the conversion was complete.

This project has been slow going. I am novice to Linux and am slow on uptake of scattered information. It was recommended that I stay with the original servo motors. The drives had been removed before I received the machine. It may have been easier to do steppers, I don't know. Sure would be nice if there were some videos for novices on Linux CNC for how to start the machine, Create drawings, CAD/CAM, open DXF in Linux CNC and general how to operate Linux CNC. Videos for setting up I/O ports as well, limits/home/estop/mist/ etc. It is all easy if you know how.
