HELP!! I can't find the driver I need for my Roland!
How to install a Roland driver in Windows 7 and Windows Vista
HELP!! I can't find a Windows8 driver for my machine!!
Just bought a new computer but my MDX-20 doesn't have a USB port. Tried a serial to USB cable but still can't connect.
Unable to get any movement in either X, Y or Z axis
Notgetting good scanning results,could be a bent needle probe.
What is the part number of the MDX-15 or MDX-20 spindle assembly?
All Roland devices with a USB, Parallel (LPT), or Serial (COM) port need a driver to communicate with a computer. For Roland products compatible with Apple Macintosh operating systems, a plugin is used with Adobe Illustrator. For Roland devices with an Ethernet port, the output software (e.g. - RIP)includes the driver as part of the application.
When outputting a design to your engraver or milling machine, the software needs to be able to translate commands to the device. These commands tell the machine how fast to mill, at what revolutions per minute (RPM), and where to mill in 3D space. This is what makes up a toolpath. A Strategy is a combination of tool movements, material properties, software algorithms, and tool characteristics.
