Hi all,
I'm currently writing software to send part programs from a PC to a Strippit CNC press punch (it has the HECC80/1 control) The company I work for won’t buy the software. If I can get enough information/setting about/for other press punchs I'm hoping to inculde them in it.

I have sorted out the serial port settings for that particular machine controller, but I'm hoping to make the software compatible to other CNC press punches, if possible.

I need to know baud rate, how many stop chars. Etc and if the controller supports handshaking, or if it looks for a specific chars. to mark the start and end of the part program, also if the controller has any little quirks ( the HECC80/1 uses the first line of the part program to get the parity information and drops it)

Does anyone use any (other strippits, amadas, finn power etc) and know the specs?
