 2 new LightScribe enabled Burner finaly arrived in 05/2008. Unfortunately my old one (Philips) died.
In 05/2008 sind endlich 2 neue Brenner mit LightScribe Labeling angekommen. Die Sendung war zeitweise verschollen. |
 Seems the burner are ok as labeling worked. The CD looks better in reality. The CD's cover is reflecting the light.
Die Brenner scheinen zu funktionieren, ein Testlabeln war ok. Die CDs schauen in Natura besser aus, nicht so flau wie auf dem Bild. |
 Also a bunch of envelopes arrived.
Luftpolster-Umschläge sind inzwischen auch da. |
 Close up of the envelopes.
Nochmal eine etwas größere Aufnahme. |
I'm still waiting for the CD media then the show can go on i. e. then I can burn and ship CDs again. I appologie for letting some of you wait so long for their CDs. Please note: Even if your 1 year download is over your download account still works. A fresh CncPlayer is always available in your download directory. So don't hesitate to download.
Jetzt fehlen mir noch die bestellten CD Rohlinge. Dann ist die Brenn-Ausrüstung wieder komplett und ich kann wie gehabt brennen und verschicken. Entschuldigung an alle, die ich so lange auf ihre CD hab warten lassen. Euer Download-Zugang funktioniert übrigens weiterhin, auch wenn das eine Jahr schon abgelaufen ist. Ein frischer CncPlayer ist ständig im Download-Verzeichnis verfügbar.

New CncPlayer Projects: Project 1: Support for external USB Cnc Controller I intend (and some small parts are already implemented) to support the following controller with the CncPlayer. The list order is random and got no meaning: 1. www*deskcnc*com That's an exception because it is COM but not USB. 2. www*usbcnc*com This is an USB controller. 3. www*cncdudez*com This is another USB controller. 4. www*nc-step*de And yet another USB controller but with LCD display. 5. ncpod*oemtech*com One more USB controller.
These 3 images show the DeskCnc controller (no. 1 in the above list) which an user mounted on a board. Please note that the controller is pretty small. Thanks to R. for the images: More information about USB Cnc Controller soon in the forum.
Project 2: Retrofitting / turning an old A3 flat bed plotter into a sign cutting plotter A3 refers to the German paper size A3 which is about 420 mm x 297 mm (ca. 16.5 inch x 11.5 inch). The plotter's electronic can't handle today's software protocols like Hpgl etc. That means you can't use that plotter in an today's computer environment. So I want to remove the electronic and substitute it by an ordinary external stepper motor electronic and control it with the CncPlayer. At least this is what I intend. I'm curious if it will work that way. 

 The great thing of these old plotters is that they are comparatively big, comparatively solid and very cheap because most owner can't use it (due to the outdated protocol and connector). For low-budget cnc user such devices are a great deal to get a lot of mechanics for little money. My first job is to build an adapter for the motor connector in order to connect the motors to an own external stepper motor electronic. To build the adapter I bought some parts as shown in the images. I don't want to cut off the original connector for several reasons. One reason is e. g. that the plotter's self test works and maybe I need this function once during the retrofitting process.
More information on my plotter project will follow (depends on the progress I'll make).
