Mach3 under Vista / Difficulties in testing gcode strings off line
« on: June 30, 2015, 02:12:21 PM »
Hi. When I have my computer connected to the mill testing of gcode strings work perfectly well. When I load the same string when the computer i disconnected it doesn't work. When I disconnect the motion card from the mill and bring it to my studio and connect it to the computer, it all works well. But I don't want to do this every time I'm going to test strings. What's wrong and what can I do to make this work?

Regards

I have also used "Mach4 CNC Controller Mill Programming Guide Version 1.0" from Newfangled Solutions as guide.

Mach3 under Vista / Z unwantedly repeats itself when drilling
« on: June 24, 2015, 04:54:13 AM »
Hi. I have instructed Mach3 to drill several holes. The mill positiones itself on the correct starting position and starts drilling. However, it continues the drilling procedure two to four times before it continues to the next position. The program has the same codes as in the "Multiple Hole Pattern" wizard. I use a laptop with Windows Vista. What can I do to make it performe as intended? Could there be one or more of those very small people inside the computer making tricks on me like they sometimes do to our brains?
