Upgraded O.S.,F&S, CAM, and CAD $oftware might as well upgrade the control software.

That'll allow you to narrow the cause of any problems to something went wrong...

Yes, I built an even bigger house of cards! Had to my other house of cards was to small and out of date.

Does anyone know, is Dropbox the only form of Networking available? If it is Linix based, can it just connect to our LAN to share and copy files?

Also, I thought I had heard there would be an off-line simulator or emulator to create and edit PathPilot programs while not at the machine. I thought this was to be web-based. Anyone know about this?

All sorts of commercial and freeway d-code editors and simulators available for writing g-code.

PP as a program isn't really that good for writing g-code on, apart from maybe the conversational aspects of it.

I am kind of disappointed; I thought with PP2 that they would add some more conversational tabs.

Ordered yesterday, hopefully get a chance to play over xmas.
I wonder if there's any reason to make a backup to go back to 1.9.xx JIC...... (I'm not using a Tormach controller computer)

I also am hoping for some more "front end" stuff as the wifi/drop box bit wasn't really that big of a deal. I guess it's a wait and see what improvements in there are tangible for a hobbyist such as myself.

I ordered and got a shipping confirmation/tracking number yesterday for "USPS - PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL ". Hopefully Christmas will arrive in Cobourg next week!

Well....I see l there is now information on profile in the current operators manual.
Page 76 - 81.

Which manual did you download? I tried all the latest manuals I could find online but no of them described the profile feature.
I've nevertheless been playing with it for a while and I was quite impressed with the first tests in imperial units (I haven't run the profile routine on the machine yet - maybe tomorrow). However, it took me a few attempts to get it running in metric because it carried some initial values from imperial and it wasn't too happy. Once you get the hang of it it's actually quite nice Just check over ALL the values.

I am kind of disappointed; I thought with PP2 that they would add some more conversational tabs.

for example?

Thanks! I did check this version but I guess I was thrown by all the conversational screen shots except those for the profile op being from V1x without the profile tab.

Received PathPilot 2.0 this afternoon. Will update my simulator install tomorrow evening in virtual box then update the mill's controller this weekend.

Got it installed last night, install went smoothly on my DIY Controller.

One thing to note, after it updates the MESA firmware, I needed to turn the computer off/on, not restart.. At least with mine anyway, it kept telling me I needed to restart each time.

Oh and I had a permission error after setting up dropbox that I'll have to look into. I am excited for dropbox because I work across 5 or so different computers, in different locations and it will be nice to have ONE place for my posts to go.

Will be making some chips tonight!

Just saw a 2.0 install video posted on the blog.

[wildwhl]

Installed without issue this evening. Dropbox installed. Ran a quick test job.

Everything went smoothly.

Glad to have dropbox functioning properly.

Can you choose which dropbox folders to sync? I have a lot of stuff on my dropbox account I don't want to sync on my Pathpilot PC.

Also, do you know which version of Linux PP 2.0 runs on?

[joshetect]

You can exclude folders, but you have to type the name of each individual folder to exclude.

My PP 2.0 USB arrived today in the frozen north without hassles from customs. Hurrah!
I decided to do a test install on a machine without a 5i25. It failed with the message that no 7i92 was found (a 7i92 is ethernet attached version of their PCI 5i25 card). Does that mean that the 7i25 is supported? I hate to purchase a 7i92 on spec but that would be great news.

Mine's still "pending shipment" since I ordered it on the 9th, guess they ran out

It needs a 5i25 card.
If it can't find one, I bet it looks around to see what it could find. Tormach doesn't sell 7i92's (nothing comes up in the store) so I wouldn't expect it to be supported (or tested very well).
