You can do this by setting LED's on the screen.

So in the m3 macro put in CallsetuserLED(1010,1) and it will turn on dro 1010

Then you can test to see if that is set with GetUserLED(1010)

I think you have all the other stuff that you need.

Should work and it looks like they will drive a larger motor...
It will take TTL Step and Direction and that is all Mach3 will put out

I would have to test them to tell you if I like them more than the gecko drives...

Here is a set file that should let you turn on the joystick.
If you need more stuff added I am around.

I See!! I don't know if the Cam from this will work in Mach 3... This software can run a machine and has Cam built in so I think it is going to make code for it's self.
There could be others out there that have used it in the past.

There is a problem with sharing ram with the video... This messes with the timing in the computer and can lock up Mach. That said I am running a CHEAP computer with on-board video. It runs GREAT but I have had problems with it in the past.
Just get a computer that you can put a video card in and you should be good.

Try not to get on-board video. Other than that you should be good to go:)

That is a good idea... I will look into adding a triangle:)
I will be adding in the multi point milling (connect the points with lines) and you would be able to use it to cut anything you like.

You can't stop leadins in Cut Rectangle because it is using cutter comp. But it will keep do the comp moves over the part if you press the "GROOVE" button on the screen.


There are updates to the Mill addons and you can get them by downloading the newest version of Mach 3 and I did updates to cut rectangle.
