Title: xml
Post by: lastgo on January 03, 2011, 04:58:09 AM

i have a cnc machine that i bought new but has never worked properly the master and slave boards have been changed three times,
it allways seem to be the z axis board after flashing the xml file I'm now suspicious of the xml file having errors ive checked it with an online validate that says there are three errors but I'm not sure its right.

no its not a mach3 XML file but its a file supplied by a manufacturer so if it has errors its there fault but they think the fault is me when flashing the microcontrollers.
so if someone could check the file it would be very much appreciated thanks.

I suspect only the manufacturers will know what is meant to be in there.

well certainly the xml fails w3c validation but that doesn't neccessarily mean anything. I've seen software that works fine on broken xml simply because it's written to do so. The point is that even if the xml was valid, that says nothing about the validity of the content (the microcontroller flash code).
