The application is simple to use and supports the data transfer between. Oct 11, 2016 This freeware communication program works with most machinetool controls, not just Haas and Fadal. There are two links, one to Fadal and the other to Haas Quick Code that both include SurfCam's SDNC-II software program for RS232 communication. Start either of the Quick Code programs and click on the green.

Any free DNC software?
Is there any DNC/file transferring shareware around? I am writing the progs in notepad and all I need to do is get them transferred to the lathe via RS232. Don't even need to drip feed actually just file transfer.
Hoping to save a few $, any where to look? - HuFlungDungDiamond

OneCNC has a free one. You have to contact the sales office for a link to it. AFAIK, they're easy to deal with and won't bother you with sales calls after the fact.

Cadem Lite is still free. I’ve used it, mostly for backing up controls and parameters. They used to supply the best connection, cable pin outs, transfer, set up information around. I think they charge for that now.

You do get on their mailing list, but nothing too obnoxious.

Also, instead of using notepad, I strongly suggest you get PSpad.
http://www.pspad.com
It's free and you can set up a syntax with multiple colors for different types of codes, etc. You can also organize your programs into projects so that all programs for a certain part are included in the project. - MetalcutterTitanium

Microsoft Terminal
I use the old Microsoft Terminal program.
It drip feeds and or loads just fine.
I've used it to drip 2 machines at the same time from one computer with two different RS232 ports.
As long as you are doing 2 1/2 D parts it keeps up very well.
If you can find a copy of it, it can run in win 98. I haven't tried it in xp yet.

drip feed with microsoft terminal
drip feed with microsoft terminal ???
you mean hyperterminal ? i use it to transfer cnc files by rs-232 serial port.
what parameters or how do you get it to drip feed?
do you just slow baud rate? or use software or hardware handshaking?

I used three wires and Xon Xoff communication. I had to set the machine then go to the computer and start feeding the program. I think I was using 4800 Baud.Originally Posted by DMF_TomBdrip feed with microsoft terminal ???

Actually it's the old 'TERMINAL' program, Before Hyper terminal. I confess I didn't figure it out in Hyper.. so I don't know how it works there.
Back in the day of Windows 3.1. Waaaay back,
I have a copy and how to set it up if your interested.
You will want do do some simple tricks to make it comfortable to use; but it does a smooth job.
When I was using two iterations of it, one for each machine I was worried what might happen if both machines needed 'code' at the same time. It was cool. You could watch it stair step up alternating between machines.
In 2.5D machining there is time between commands as you mill the side of a part (for instance) which gives plenty of time for Terminal to feed the other machine.
I used to run both machines and play Solitare at the same time on an old 286 computer.
When the machines needed 'code' the Solitare card being flipped would hang in the air until the machine was fed.
Fun to watch. - Diamond

DNC with terminal
thank you for DNC info
Xon and Xoff so when machine is ready for more CNC sends ok to send more every so many bits or bytes and computer sends it til given signal to stop. Same as 2 computers sending a file from one to another.
Microsoft Terminal I would have to find old Win3.1 computer. Hyperterminal works although sometimes it malfunctions (not sure why) and computer needs restart. I have other software that came with mastercam for rs-232 sending files. It might DNC if I set Xon and Xoff software flow control. Mastercam software has built in text editor. I send file to CNC and send it back to computer to see if 'translation' by CNC is ok(edit if needed). then i send it back to CNC.
So on some machines that use no flow control DNC would not work, but newer machines that use software flow control (handshaking) might be able to DNC. Prototrak Plus mill has no rs-232 flow control. But Prototrak AGE mill I think might have it so maybe can do DNC. This would be useful as Prototrak has memory or file size limit of about 20kb or 330 lines of gcode.
Thank you I will try DNC - Plastic
