General Mach Discussion / MACH 3 Clairification

« on: January 09, 2016, 11:49:38 PM »

Hi Guys,
I am new here and at CNC in general.
I have read so many varying reports, I wonder could someone who absolutely knows the answers to these questions please help me. I have some issues and need to clarify the basics, simple yes and now will work foe me.

MACH 3
1. Does it run ok on Win 7 64 bit ( any proviso's )
2. Does it run ok on Win 10  64 bit ( any proviso's )
3. Does it work with USB3 and USB2
4. What is the max length the USB cable can be. Generaly I believe 10 Mtrs is max, but can this cause issues?


My Machine..?
I have a 2030 from SIGN CNC china and I cant get the spindle motor to turn on. I am in the early stages of learning and haven't routed anything yet..

When I open the roadrunner sample, the CNC  runs extremely slowly and the spindle motor dose not turn on.. I am stumped.. any help would be great.

Hi Thanks for you replies..

I am still stuck. I think I have confused myself.. I dont seem to have connection from PC- to router.. It says USBpod  not found..  And it says to run   " RunDriverTest.exe.  I found driver test... but not the "RunDriverTest.  When I run the Driver test.. it says no driver found..


So where and how do I get the driver happening.. Its all USB  not paralle port

Thankyou for your support..

Hi Guys.. Im new at this, please be patient..

1. I downloaded latest mach 3 and just cant find the DriverTest.exe anywhere..  I thought this would be a good place to start.. Its not in the Mach3 folder or anywhere to download that I can find

2. I think im connect to the router, but when I use jog, I keep getting  Estop  has been activated..  The unit dosnt have an Estop, so I assume its something else. I tried going online and offline, but to no avail. I just dont know what to de next..

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks
