    thanks for the quick reply, however i dont think that post will work. that seems to output gcode and the controller on the 228 (afaik) accepts motion programs/conversational programs which dont look anything like g-code. however i could be all wet and just havn't got the controller completely down yet.

    I have TC-221 and it only accepts the conversational programming. I have seen Brother machines that do accept EIA/ISO (G code) programs, but I'm fairly certain
    that this is an option. Do a web search and contact Yamazen via email or phone
    with your machine serial number and they may be able to tell you whether you have
    g-code capability. If your machine is pre-1990 they may be very little help at all.

    For what software are you looking for a post?
    Can you send and receive programs via RS-232 and if so, what software are you
    using?

    Good luck
    Ben

    Many of the old Brother Converstional machines can be converted to run G-Code. The machine's control panel, and several IC chips on the NCPCB need to be replaced. Parts will typically cost around a couple thousand bucks, and take a few hours to install by a technician.

    We are developing a G-Code to Brother Conversational Converter at the moment. We are still using something like this in our company. The converter is able to convert any simple G-Code to a brother motion program.
    Please contact info@aqua-computer.de if you are interested in this.

    Hello,

    I've sent a couple of emails to your email link and have received no response.
    Is the g-code to brother motion control converter software available?
    I would really like to try it and buy it if it's what you say it is.

    Thanks
    Ben

    Hi!
    I have a problem with brother TC-211.
    I get the message "POSITION ERROR (Z)" and I don't know what to do.
    Manual says just "press RESET key and check time constant"
    What exactly should I check with the time constant?
    Can anybody help me?

    Answers can also be sent to nikola@metalkej.com.mk
    thanks

    One other thing I would like to know is does anybody know how to control the additional 4th axis of the brother TC-211.
    I know that CODE 81 makes the axis move, but how do I control the angle of rotation?

    thanks

    It will give you this alarm if the rapids are below 250 IPM.
    To get out of this alarm, Hold the RELSE (KEY) and Jog Z down.

    That control can only send and receive m-codes which are only simple on off triggers and the port is only good for m-codes and commands to run programs already stored in the internal memory. Example you send a signal from a computer through the port that tells the mill to run internal program number 1000. M-codes are simple on off pulse, the degrees of rotation are controlled by a seperate controller for the rotary table.
