I may eventually use Dave Pearson as a resource but cannot really afford much of his time so I would at least like to learn which questions I need to ask and what I can't understand by myself first.
I tried signing up for the UK forum numerous times but never received a response. Maybe you have to live in the UK to qualify!?
The attraction for me in purchasing Sprutcam also was the significant discount offered by Tormach. I just wish that they would at least act a mirror site (in the US) for current revisions as I cannot download from Sprutcam's site without receiving CRC errors in the downloaded file. |
I'm in the US and signed up for Dave's site in the UK so there must have been some problem other than location.
Tormach recently announced on their Yahoo Group site that they were starting a beta SprutCAM support program and were welcoming input. Just mill at this time; lathe support will take a while I guess.
SC is up to Build 5.51 now, I think. So far as I know it works with the current Tormach post and I'm not sure wheter or not posts always need to be updated to work with new builds.
To avoid upgrading and ending up with a 30-day demo, make sure that the dongle exe file is in the folder where the downloaded build has been unzipped to and install SC from that folder. The installer needs to see the dongle file (HASP) in order to install the retail version of SC.
