Hello all,

I’ve been using nativeCAM for several years on my milling machine and I’m really impressed. I’m currently converting a CNC lathe, and it was planned from the start that nativeCAM would be used there as well. On closer inspection of the Screenshots in this thread I’ve realized that the turning version doesn’t have a “polyline” feature. I could hardly believe that. This one amazing tool would make the software unbeatable! Polyline + G71 could program the most complex turning parts with just a few clicks in a minute and replace 90% of CAD/CAM.
Do i miss miss something, maybe there is a good reason. Are there no Lathe useres for nativeCAM?


greetings Tom 

At the end it was easier for me to compile a new bit file without the pwm/dir (I/O 07 PIN 17) and use it as a GPIO. It is working now.
Many thanks to you Peter!


Another question is about my "26 HDR" internal port of the 6i25 , I wanted to do my own encoder pcb but now I found a used 7I52S.
How to modify my vhd-file to do so and how should the cable from 26 HDR 6i25 to the 50 HDR 7I52S look like?
I don't now if I can use all functionality of the 7I52S but at least the 6 encoders and the rest filled with (stepper)outputs?
Should I open a new thread for this?
