Important:
If you are considering purchasing this controller, there are different versions and each one has critical differences. Go to the product page (link just above) to see the different versions and the differences.

Post processor to use with this controller:
You can use the Fanuc post processor with minimal modification. Check the link below:
http://bbs.ddcnc.com/forum.php?mod=vi...

Credit goes to the user 71taa in the forum. He also created a modified Fanuc post processor on post no. 9 of that thread.

Specifically, in the forum, there is a post that contains this workflow under Fusion360:
1. Choose the target setup in CAM module
2. Ensure that operation names doesn't contain symbols that aren't allowed in g-code comments (like parentheses and so on)
3. Select the 'Post Process'
4. Select "FANUC / fanuc" postprocessor
5. Set following properties:
5.1 Allow helical moves - No
5.2 G28 Safe retracts - No (it's a matter of taste)
All other options by default
6. Open the generated file. In the beginning you'll see the following (depends on your setup):
%
O1001
(T1 D=1. CR=0. - ZMIN=-2.5 - FLAT END MILL)
G90 G94 G17 G49 G40 G80
G21
G53 G00 Z0.
7. Remove the 'O1001' line
8. If you haven't setup home switches on your CNC and doesn't use homing sequence before the work - remove G53 lines - both in the beginning and in the end of file - otherwise you could hit limits easily.
