Here’s a tool to write programs for a Hansvedt MS-4 Foreman CNC EDM. The control reads and writes programs in a .TXT file format. I believe there was a standalone console/computer you could have purchased for programming at one time… but I doubt you’d find one no matter how hard you looked. Programs can be input directly on the control using the keyboard and scroll wheel of course, but that’s no fun.
All of the same functions should be available here as they are on the control. Build your program line by line, then export it to a text file:
There are also a few nifty things included: existing files can be imported, edited, then output again, and there is also a sheet for saving power settings. The spec is based on these three pages from the manual:
Transfer the file using a floppy drive (hah!) or figure out the RS-232 connection. I made this for just one person, but if you happen to find this useful please let me know, that would make my day! Download it here:
