need a developer for a DNC server app

[jmlaser]

Looking for a DNC server type app
similar to this for the palm. It would be a usb to serial communication
app that would allow me to save machine G code from idustrial machinery.
ANY help appreciated

Did you ever find an app or developer for this?

For what machines?

I'm looking into doing this for my own needs. Is anyone still interested? For what machines? I'm using Milltronics Centurion 5 and 6 controllers.

Thanks!

We mostly use Okuma machines but you can see a list here of what we have.

Fulton Precision Industries, Inc.

Back in my days of programing, I used the Palm to load and unload Fanuc and Hassle machines. Seems I wrote the app to do this - some time ago. ***** to grow old - folks just put you out to pasture.

What do you have in mind? I'm thinking a tablet app that will download programs via a Bluetooth serial port. Does that fit your needs?

Could it work on both table and phone. We do not have any tablets.

Bluetooth sounds good.

I don't see why not. I'm just thinking that a cheap Bluetooth tablet (which I'm having a little trouble finding) could stay with each machine. I guess one phone would be sufficient; The operator carries it with him. Pull CNC programs off of a server via Wi-Fi, and then send them through the correct Bluetooth serial port. Sounds workable. I'm currently using my old G1 as a development target, so a phone is a good starting point.

Or you could just pull the programs off the sd card

Here is a serial to Bluetooth adapter Newegg.com - SIIG ID-SB0011-S1 RS-232 to Bluetooth Converter

We do exactly that. Take the serial information to bluetooth. Then we have an android app that reads and displays the information and gives you different options for saving it. Let me know what kind of information you are trying to save and we can customize it for you.

The application would be like easy dnc for the pc (Dnc Software for Windows)

Up load and download text files to a cnc control

That should be no problem. I have several projects I am working on and will need a week to finish up. Let me know if you would like to go forward and I will send you my contact information

So far, I'm thinking BlueSnap Bluetooth RS-232 Dongles . It has better documentation.
