I am setting up my cnc mill with mach 3 and have everything running great i just don't know how to figure out how many steps per  inch i need to be accurate. it is set to the default 4000 right now but that is way off far to phew steps for my machine. if anyone has any input please help.

General Mach Discussion / Help I can’t configure Mach2 for my XS-3525/8S-4 Controller!

« on: April 27, 2007, 10:09:53 AM »

I have just purchased Mach2 and I am trying to configure the inputs and outputs to work with my controller but nothing seems to respond. They recommend Mach2 on the controller site so I know it’s compatible. If anyone knows how to help it would be much appreciated!

General Mach Discussion / Cant figure out Mach2 Configuration for XS-3525/8S-4

« on: April 26, 2007, 08:06:17 PM »

I have a Taig mill with four axis controller (XS-3525/8S-4) and just purchased mach2 as sugested by the controllers web site but i cant seem to get the board to respond to any command sent to the board by the computer. i ust to use linux CNC which worked perfectly except you could only use one file type. so i switched to mach but now can not figure out how to get my machine up and running. if anyone could help with setup that would be great i have almost completed the users guide and didnt seem to help. any input would be appreicated.
