Hi

I'm about to set up a system with 2 steppers on the X-axis
How do I do that ?
And is it possible to home the two steppers seperate (incase lost steps on one of them)?

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / How do i setup Mach3 to control a laser with TTL input?

« on: March 20, 2009, 08:50:59 PM »

HI

I'll like to be able to control a small laser diode on my router via Mach3
For engraving letters on balsawood

I have seen some laser controllers that use TTL input on Ebay

How do I setup Mach3 to turn on/off the laser at the right moment?
As i understand it there is a small startup time for the laser before it's ready to "burn"
Is it possible to let Mach3 handle it all, or do i need to change something in my postprocessor aswell?

regards Borge

General Mach Discussion / 1280x1024 screen for Marc3 ?

« on: January 01, 2006, 10:03:13 PM »

HI
And thanks for a great forum. just build my first mill, (the second is on it's way) 

I was wondering if it was possible to get marc3 to fit a screen size 1280 x 1024 because
that's the size i normally use ?

Some time ago i saw a screen layout with some nice looking "digital" numbers on it
Anybody have a suggestion where i can download a screen like that, or some thing like that ?

Best regards
