It runs perfectly under win 7 64 but not through the P-port, I'm running a Smooth stepper.

Modbus / Re: MP03 pendant-Smoothstepper conflict

« on: July 19, 2010, 09:17:30 AM »

Hi guys, I have my Mp03 pendant working but not functioning as the unit should. I can't enable the brains that come with the plugin, when enabled the X axis makes small 1/2" forward rapid movements. I have absolutely NO idea how to write or sort out brain programming so I have left it well alone. In doing so my MPG movements are very disjointed and jittery but with my machine being bigger than most having some remote control is better than nothing.

In my set-up I must have power (24v) to the pendant before I start Mach3, if not then it all locks up and I have to close Mach and start again. I'm grateful that I have this pendant even though it's not perfect it has made using my machine a lot easier.

That pilot has some serious skill. Very nice. So was this filmed in Aus or NZ, I detect and Aussie accent there.

Looks good, I assume you are using solid carbide cutters. I hope things take off for you, might enable you to reinvest into a faster and stronger machine.

Good luck and well done

SmoothStepper USB / Thumbs up

Fitted my Smoothstepper last weekend, fluffed about for a little this past week trying to get other things sorted but tonight I tried some a small engraving job in aluminum. Oh WOW what a difference, the corners are now corners not a rounded representation of one. My machine now cuts a circle, not an oval. Very happy.

The only thing I borked on was getting the 26 pin header back to front and wondering why it was not working. DOH!
