DDCS expert post processor

[mcnicollchris]

Hi there I’m using a ddcs expert on my converted CNC mill, I’m just drawing up a few test files to run but I’m wondering what post processor I should be using? 
thanks for any help

I'm not familiar with that control, do you have any sample g-code programs that you could share?

I would also be interested in a post processor for this controller.  I'm in the process of building out a Onefinity build with one.  So far I don't have any usable g-code for it, but PDF manuals can be downloaded here and describe much of how its g-code should be formatted.

GRBL works fine for me, but I know many DDCS users use FANUC
I'm using the DDCS V3

I knew about the similarity to FANUC, but people seem to have to delete some lines at the start of the file and that makes me wonder what other compatibility problems might be lurking that have just not shown their face yet.

Hello, I use a ddcs expert for my retrofit. The operating system in the ddcs is based on Linux. If you look for a Linux cnc post processor you will be able to run programs in your controller. The file extension name is .ngc

The ddcs expert programming is based on Linux, if you download the Linux cnc post processor, your file name will end in .ngc, and you should little trouble running these programs.

I know it's been a while for this message to be replied to...but i built a wetbed cnc router table for use in aerospace panels, etc.  In fusion 360, I use  BobsCNC / bobscnc 2 for the NC program.  It works very well from my experience.  If you know any other NC programs that you have tested and proven, let me know.  I like to experiment with different Post Processors and Programs for various machines. Thanks, and good luck
