Palm Pilot communicate with CNC?

[Slixmix]

A co-worker says he had heard of some software that you can use to communicate with cnc machines to download and upload at the machine with a palm pilot. Anyone know of anything like this? Thnaks.

I use the Palm to communicate with the machines here. The program is called SerialGo. Works fine. HTH!

I have seen my resellers [s4A] do this but I am unsure as to what they were using to do it; I think it was Cimco DNCMax with a wireless network connection to the PDA.

We have been selling PDA Connect since June 2005 which was previously known as Serial Go. Vista Software is the developer and SFA is the exclusive distributor of the product.

 

Customers can purchase the PDA Connect Software for use with their own personal PALMs (compatibility chart on our site) for $150.00. We also sell complete bundles with PDA, Software, Cabling and Connectors.

 

Works great with MasterCAM to create g-code and send it onto a PALM. Also perfect for backing up existing programs in the NC.

 

Better than a laptop without the bulky, expensive cost and perfect for the DNC backup.
