General Mach Discussion / Re: Z axis when setting coordinates
« on: August 10, 2011, 06:38:14 PM »
Sorry for my ignorance but i think I explained myself wrong.

I have a hot wire between 2-2axis towers, X-Z, and Y-4. The X & Z coordinates moves both towers in the "X" coordinate simultaniously. And the Y & 4 coordinates move the "Y" coordinate simultaniously. how can I  pre-program coordinates where the numbers are displayed at the top so the wire will move in sync with the other side? Or do i have to use the mdi line?

General Mach Discussion / Z axis when setting coordinates
« on: August 10, 2011, 06:01:13 PM »
When I type in numerical coordinates to move the X,Y,Z, and 4 axis's on my 4 axis foam cutter then hit "Go To", the Z axis doesn't move until the all the axis's are finished.

For example, assuming all axis's are at zero. I type in 10 for the X axis, 10 for the Y axis, 10 for the Z axis, and 10 for the 4 axis. When I press "Go to" all axis's move at the same time and finish at Zero except the Z axis. It waits until all axis's are complete then runs Thoughts?

I figured out the problem. You're right Hood, I couldn't jog because I didn't activate the jog button!!!

I didn't realize that you couldn't be on the toolpath screen if you wanted key control.

I'm an extreme noob so please bear with me on my obvious ignorance.

I bought a 4 axis cnc foam cutting machine 2 weeks ago. The seller successfully installed a licensed copy of Mach3 on to my laptop.
I used to be able to manually controll the x1, x2, y1, y2 axis's with the w,a,d,x keys and the up. down, left, & right keys on my laptop. Now they no longer work.

What went wrong?

Also, I started cutting a block of foam with my laptop controlling the hot wire cutter and Mack3 software. I had forgot to plug in the power supply to the laptop, so after a half hour the laptop quit and I had to reboot it with the power now plugged in. My problem is the hotwire is still inside the block (turned off). How do I restart the hotwire to continue to cut the 23 shapes I had loaded into Mack3's to originally start it?
