Event driven serial . Use the serial monitor to see what is coming and going.

I thought using the serial for the ATC that all atc motions were controlled via the ATC and IT would send ok or clear or FAIL signals BACK to MACH3 via serial.

You would signal the ATC via serial to do an action then wait for the responce from the ATC such as OK, clear, fail,etc  that indicated it is ready to go or failed in the function.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

I am not sure that the Smooth stepper even supports  THC ? May want to check with Greg at Warp9 for the answer.

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Which version of 7 for Mach3? Home? Pro? Ultimate? 32 bit? 64 bit?

You could simply have the Puter store build you a new puter with older components that still support XP.

Memory not a problem
LPT ports not a problem
Hard drive not a problem.
Video not a problem
Monitor not a problem.

Try turning OFF the driver watchdawg.  It is on the gen config page RH side. It is NOT needed for normal useage.

Th eprobing is a GCODE function NOT an OEM funtion.  IF the unit does not except the G31 Gcode chances are good it cannot do the funtion.

ok first thing is you need to pick one person to help you at a time. Chances are good that working with more than one person at a time  will frustrate you and the helper.

The helper needs to understand that you are ONLY doing things that he told you to try not 10 OTHER things someone else suggested as well.

OK I see that ProCut left you stranded and with no help. SHAME on them.

So lets review, You have a thc by Texas Micro.   Model # ?.

Are you using the Plugin and screenset  that comes with the THC unit? IF not what screen set are you using.

And you have an A40 plasma unit.

Correct? (;-) TP
