General Mach Discussion / is it my computer or is it mach 3
« on: February 28, 2013, 03:15:01 PM »
Hi, Ever since I started using my cnc, I've had various issues with it in reguards to mach and the computer I'm using. Most of the time it raises its ugly head and does something I didnt tell it to, or not done something I did tell it to. The issue usually can be rectified at least temporarily by hiting estop and restarting which makes me think its having problems with macros or some such.
I bought and used the 2010 screen until it seemed like my machine simply didnt have enough ram to run with it without having major problems. I reverted back to big tex's blue screen adaptation as I relally like having the tool change macros. But while the issues pop up less often they still pop up.
My computer is a wimpy hp, I'll attach a screen shot of the system info but I'm starting to think it may be the entire problem.
Any and all info/help appreciated.
John
