Haas FNC with Thumb Drives and Networking for pre NGC Machines via a Raspberry Pi

- Using a Raspberry Pi as the file server with a Haas pre-NGC CNC machine. This gets around the problems with Windows 10 not being able act as a file server by default. Yes, you can enable SMB 1.0, but that's a security risk I wasn't willing to take.

@JohnSL --- This video helped jump start a fun project. We recently opened up my buddies 2015 era machines and found no hard drive and no ethernet connection. But with the help of a Raspberry Pi we were able to use the Pi as a mass storage device through the Haas USB port on the front panel. The Pi can be accessed via WiFi (or Ethernet) as a shared drive, FTP, etc. Once plugged in to the Haas it appears just like any other regular thumb drive does. I'm doing some automation and cleanup to the code but when finished the whole thing will fit neatly inside the front panel enclosure. Thank you very much for taking the time to post this video!
Great video. It's amazing how 10 year old technology is, well so old.
I know, right?
Thanks for sharing. My old Haas VF1 (1990) actually predated Haas DNC. I was only able to upload a file to the small memory using a serial interface. The memory was too small for modern programs. Long story short, I ditched the Haas controller and converted to Linuxcnc and a modern computer. Great iron, but the 1990 electronics sucked.
Wow, before DNC. That would be hard. Looking forward to seeing some results from your VF1.
Good info, thanks, my SMM has the same control you have. The stock configuration is 1 Megabyte of memory. The 16 Meg is a paid upgrade, so maybe yours didn't have that, or if the control battery ever went dead it would need the password re entered to turn it back on. With only 1 Meg I find that almost any Trochoidal Fusion code will instantly blow past that. So for the last 6 months I have been full FNC from USB stick. My programs are around 5 or 6 megabytes generally. Works perfectly 99.9% of the time. I use an HP brand, 8 Gig USB stick that I bought 15 years ago. I keep hearing that new USB sticks are very troublesome. I did have an issue where Fusion posted a deep drilling op, pecking with full retract. On the USB stick it would error out every time on one hole out of the 6 I was doing. Reposted code, re ran, same issue, never worked no matter what. Then I put that op in memory, ran perfect 20 times, tried again on USB, failed everytime again.
What year is your SMM? I'll have to see if they can give me the unlock code, as they should have a record of whether it's been paid for already. I know my HFO has records on this machine from before I purchased it.
@@JohnSL Mine is November 2008. Did you get a book with your machine? Mine has all the parameters in it, plus all the codes for options like rigid tapping. You will need all that stuff if the battery ever dies. Might be some hand writing in there somewhere?
Just for your information, the default gateway in windows isn't necessarily the DNS-Server (the device acting as the default gateway, in most cases yout router, can also be the DNS server, however it doesn't have to be). If you type "ipconfig /all" in the windows command line, it will also print the dns server. Again, this is often the same address as the default gateway, especially in home networks, but in some cases, especially business networks, it might be different.
Good point. It's the same in my case, but you're right, it doesn't have to be.
Could you explain how you did the remote server and the path? I have an old desktop with windows 10 and plan on saving all Fusion files to it and need to get my VF3 to see that computer. I have the VF3 connected to the network as I can see the IP address. Did you install server software onto your computer? If so what software did you use? I don't have a Raspberry Pi, but the other information has given me hope again that I can connect my machine and stop using the thumb drive. Thanks
Being able to read from a Windows 10 computer is far from easy. And it would require making changes that will create security holes. That's why I decided to use a Raspberry Pi instead. You should be able to get a Raspberry Pi and power supply for around $100. I set the Pi's file share as the target for Fusion 360 when I post. And I have not used a thumb drive since I set this up.
Thank for your sharing. Try to connect smb on my tv box android
Makes sense. I was focused on a specific use case, but you make a good point that it would work for other scenarios that require SMB.
Hello and thank you for your efort. May I ask you how did you connect haas machine to your local network with ethernet cable as well as how did you connect the raspberry pi to it?
I have both the Raspberry Pi and the Haas connected to my home's ethernet system. In other words, they're connected to the central router/switch.
@@JohnSL I have a hunch that @bhlnsane doesn't have a Haas machine factory equipped with the Ethernet package and he was looking for a solution for that. Aloha
