Brian,
I understand about the galil plugin. I was under the assumption that it was working already. The card I have is not a new card, so I thought it should work with the plugin I downloaded from the website here. We have been using this card (pci) from Galil for about 3 years now. We originally bought the system to retrofit our machines from Camsoft. Which, camsoft could have been a really great deal, because what you can do with their software is virtually limitless. Using the Galil card you can control just about anything with nearly as many I/O's as you can think of. But their software is buggy it seems. I am happy with the Galil stuff, but not so much with Camsoft. Camsoft sold the Galil cards with their software as a package. So, I tried to install your software since I saw the Galil plugin. It worked for a while but it has a few bugs that I don't know if they are my fault or the software. I also ordered the Gecko drives to try them out as well. I haven't set them up yet but I am working on getting it figured out.
What I intend to do with this software is find out which setup works best with the most options. If everything works like we think it will, we want to start distributing complete systems, specifically for use in the automotive racing/rebuilding industry. If you look at our website,
www.tnsmachines.com, you can see that we have been manufacturing automotive specific equipment for several years. We want to bring cnc to this market in a user friendly/cost effective way. So, understanding what we want to do, we want the best system we can get, if it's using the Galil cards or the gecko drives etc. We do have a few machines in our shop that we use for manufacturing that we would like to upgrade the software to so that we can learn it inside out. Any help you can offer us will be great. Thanks!
