Novusun Digital Dream Update EC500 V5 EC300 NVEM New Warp9 CNC4pc C25XP C82 smooth stepper ethernet

I'm done messing around Novusun / Digital Dream products. The EC500 V5 never worked from day one. The EC300 and NVEM have unreliable probing. The probing is intermittent. Strange thing is the input activates but the probe functions are not triggered, its 50/50. Almost wrecked my probe. I'm now running Warps boards with CNC4pc breakout boards. I had high hopes for these. Funny thing is everything works in LinuxCNC

Hola !! Sigo tus videos y estan muy buenos !! Tengo una placa EC500 y si no esta ejecutando un programa, se corta la comunicación con el mach3. No es un problema de la PC ni del Mach. Es la placa que hace esta falla y en un tiempo aleatorio cuando no esta moviendo un eje. Despues de resetearla, arranca normal. Pero esto me trae problemas. Como puedo hacer para que nunca se corte la comunicación ? Gracias

EC300 sounds good enough for most builds

Hello, I also had problems with this board and there are still some things missing but almost everything works, including the probe... you just have to change the macros on the Mach3 to work with Chinese controllers ec500 v5

I'm in the process of reflashing my NVEM to Remora. I have the V5 (RT1052) and I'm struggling to figure out how to flash.
I have used the UF2 firmware to create a PicoProbe using my RP2040, but not sure which firmware to use on the NVEM.
Can you tell me which firmware you used for yours please? I noted you have the V2 NVEM which I think is a STM32, but your EC300 I think is RT1052 and uses the same firmware?
Like you I never got the NVEM to work with Mach3 (I think it's to do with the crappy driver). Looking over the board it seems reasonably well made and logically put together (unless I'm missing something)
Cheers!

Very odd that you were able to get your Novosun cards to work without glitches in Linux but not in Windows. I have the Nvem 6 axis ethernet controller which I bought several years ago but never got around to installing it into my existing Windows XP parallel port setup, for fear of breaking a very reliable Mach3 machine. However I am so fearful of my Win XP dedicated CNC rig eventually dying due to either a failed PC or OS that I am now thinking of biting the bullet and doing the upgrade, which is how I came across your video. Could you please elaborate on your issues with the controller and can you give me any tips. Thanking you in anticipation.

probing was unreliable crashing destroying tips. Random lockups. I went to a smoothstepper. I spent too many hours on those boards. The older ones were more reliable.
