Hi to every one: I’m new with mach3 and I’m following step by step the manual, when writing the G-code and press enter, I don’t get any response (I have tried several times with different codes). Does anybody could tell me what could be happening?
Regards

Are your motors moving if you Jog via they keyboard?
Can you post a sample of the code you are trying.

G21
F100
G1 X10 Y0
G2 X10 Y5
X0
Y0

if you press the jog keys do your axis DROs change?

Mach isn't in an e-stop mode is it? Is the reset button led flashing?

I checked the “General logic configuration” at the “Program end or M30 or Rewind” column, for the “E-stop the system”, and it is not checked out (it is in blank).
I’m sorry; I don’t see any “Reset Button” anywhere.

I Checked your "precisionchaos" web page, I see you do a great job.

Sounds like you dont have the axis enabled in Ports and Pins. Even if you dont have motors connected you need to enable the axis you want to use as simulation.
Reset button is lower left on most pages, if its flashing then you will have to go into ports and pins, Inputs and change the active low setting for the E Stop

I see the Reset Buttom just in the manual, but not anywhere in the software at any page. May be I should reload the software?

Can you post a screenshot here so we can look. Sounds like you may be missing some of the bitmaps or the screen set you have is corrupt, you could try installing mach again to see if that clears it up.

Sorry, I couldn't get it through this way, may be if you submit an e-mail to send you the print screen.
Any way I'm going to reload the program.

I sent the screenshot to the engineering address.
I reloaded the software again from (Mach3 R2.4.0 (Click Here) --> (Release LockDown), and I got the same thing (No Reset Buttom anywhere). May be I’m downloading the wrong version?

I have inserted a screen shot of the button you are looking for. If this button is now where on your screens, you might want to back up your XML and any screensets or grabber profiles you have, uninstall Mach, delete the mach3 folder on your c drive, download and reinatall Mach again.

I uninstalled Mach and followed all your instructions you suggested, but no change at all. Here I'm including the screenshot in word (doc) of what I'm getting on screen (no Reset Buttom). Shoudl I check the XP optimisation instructions ?.

OK Jovimon, That helps a lot. A picture is worth a thousand words. THe problem is this, your not seeing all of your screen. Go to general config and check the box Auto Screen Enlarge, Its down at the bottom, center right. You may have to exit mach and re-open for this to take effect. You may need to play with other settings in Screen control, I don't think so though. Give it a go and let us know. If, when you open general cofig. the bottom it it is missing too, grap it at the top and slide it up so you can get to Screen control.

Also, check out this link. It is a free screen capture program. It is very easy to use and you can save your shots as jpeg and other formats.
