Hi Don. I could not get the microkenitics drivers to work with Mach 3. I am working on using geckos to replace them. You should get a breakout board because all of the pins are different from Mach 3 to the drive rack. Also the transformers put out 86 volts which was to much for my nema23 motors, so I had to redo the drive rack. I am switching to Mach 3 for the same reason you are- the old software microkentics offers. By the way, the geckos make my motors run alot smoother and faster than they did with microkenetics. Let me know if you need more details.

I have been trying to get Mach 3 to work with my computer and gecko drives . I have checked everything I can think of and still can't get any motor movement. The one thing that seems odd is when I run a driver test a message comes up that says "Could not locate missing vectors". When I close the window and run the test again, the test will then work. Could this be a clue as to why I can't get anything to work?

I have microkentics cnc and would like to switch the software to Mach 3. I have messed around with this for a few days and can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone been able to do this?
