LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Post GCode stopt functioning
« on: August 26, 2010, 03:23:45 AM »
A small update, about the situation,
I found out, that if I reboot the whole system, i can use LC normal, but when I a second time it doesn't want to post. even not a small line.I have to reboot the system to make it work again.
I think, that today i swap my disk for a fresh one, and install Windows and the Mach3 soft completely fresh. just to eliminate other problem sources what might prevent LC to post.

LazyCam (Beta) / Post GCode stopt functioning
« on: August 25, 2010, 10:48:25 AM »
Till yesterday, LC was working as it suppose to work. Then last night my virus scanner, started operating as planned in a schedule (every Wednesday morning 2am).
This morning, i created a simple square, 100x160mm and 1mm deep. (i did this before and it worked) i imported the DXF in LC  and saved the Lcam project like usual, and then i post it like usual. Only this time nothing append,  the tap-file was not made like it usual did.
After repeating the task a few times with no success i used the old one (tap-file) from a few days back, and milled out my square.
Reading on the forum, did not give any solution. so i removed LC, rebooted the pc and reinstalled LC (downloaded from the web) did check the log of the virus scanner, but Nothing happened or was removed. started Mach3, and from within mach3 LC, opened the LCam project, assigned the tools (they where gone) and try to post once more, with no success.
What did i do wrong, or what can i do to post the Gcode again.

FAQs / I do not understand

Good day to you all,

The question is very simple, but for me not understandable.  ???
in the main screen of Mach3, there is a part that shows me where the actual milling point is. (middle top screen)
This correspond to the GCode on the top left side of the screen.
These steps, what is their measurement ? mm, inch, or other.

I thought it where MM,

Thomass,

Good day to you all,
My name is Thomass, live in the Netherlands and totally new to CNC.
I'm 56 years of age, and unemployed, due to a major accident, at this time.
Being house bound, i can spend more time to my hobby (digital model rail-road and related electronics) , and learning new skills, like CNC.
so i kan replace my chemicals for cutters  ::)
Mach3 came to my attention, by surfing the internet. downloaded and installed the software, without having a machine at the time.
i do now have a home-brew mill, and lots of time to get acquainted with the software. 

even if $175 is a lot to me, i do want to buy a licence because i have noticed that 500 lines of GCode are spend fast.

I hope whenever i got stuck, i can depend on this forum.

Thomass
