Almost everything. The table and quill move as expected using the Heidenhain controller and joystick, but not the handwheel. We can create and run simple programs using the Heidenhain conversational programming mode. We have switched the machine over to ISO G-code, and have been able to run programs with this. We have changed the communication parameters to FE mode, which permits transferring programs to/from the machine's memory, as well as drip feeding programs directly.
