sorry I can't help you with robotmaster. my question is how much does it cost, and does it require mastercam or can you import work into it?
Hey people i`m on this personal project of building a small cnc robotic arm using Mastercam x3 and Robotmaster but dont undestand how to setup the software.
I wont start to develop the plans until i undestand well the software.
since two weeks i steel trying to undestand how to manage robotmaster before starting to develop my robot. I have all i need refering to hardware for it (Electronics, aluminium, steppers, etcetera) but Robotmaster drives my nuts.
does anyone now if it is posible to asign pins for step, dir and enable trough parallel port with this software?
I didnt find any help so far on any web page.
Please help!

Well i canīt help much to you. One thing is for shure: You need MASTERCAM for it (x2 or x3 version for wath i have undestand) and about the ROBOTMASTER plugin, i downloaded from this:
http://robotmaster.com/patches/
were you are going to find out the right version for Mastercam, and also a few user guides: They are ok., but the problem comes when you try to find the path to configur ports and pins setup.
The only way to do sometingh is to load one of the preseted configurations and they are refering only to commercial robots (like Fanuc, Motoman, Abb) and also 2 named "robotmaster" witch are basic robot configuration made it by the guys of Robotmaster.
Anyway it wont work on any home made stepper driver you plugin on the pararell port (i found some part on the configuration plase were it says "Connection" and the options are "com1" "Com2" "com3"... so may be the only option is to use that.
I thing it cost... meaning that the want money for it, but that link i found have it...for free?
I didnīt find any limitation like in a demo.
Robotmaster is an addon for Mastercam. Like mastercam it will not drive anything. It is used to create the code for the robot. For example...Mastercam will create G-Code to run a cnc machine, since most commercial robots are not cnc machines they dont accept g-code. So Robotmaster is used to generate the points for the pathing of the robot.
Hi everyone of the forum i'm fresh my name is LAY i'm a programmer of mastercam x3, i have already installed robotmaster but i can't get the post and the simulation needs the access code, if someone could pass me the access code i'll be grateful, i can pass videos and manuals of mastercam 9 and X.
Sorry by my english.
Regards...
