New to tree, programming question

[MadPickinSkills]

Hello,
I dont know anything about Tree CNC mills. I was wondering if they can be programmed offline (with mastercam or ?) and then upload the g-code into the control or is the programming done at the machine?

Specifically and Journeyman 325, dynapath delta 20 control

thanks

My Dynapath 20 never worked but I do recall that it could accept g-code. I also think that it can be drip fed for larger files. I'm sure there is someone that could confirm this.

yep, it can accept g-code from mastercam provided you have the post processor for a dynapath. it works like a hose. if the program is larger than the memory you have in the controller, then you have to drip feed to it. i haven't needed to do this personally but i don't do much surfacing.

You can also program G-Code at the control instead of conversational, use EIA mode. I've read on this forum that the 2 & 3 pins on the RS232 cable are reversed, I didn't find that to be the case here at work and I have not hooked mine up at home yet. Also check in the Controls section for the Dynapath forum.

Thanks guys. I happen to have a dynapath post for mastercam.
