General Mach Discussion / Re: New KX3 not working
« on: June 06, 2017, 03:50:06 PM »
Hi Craig,

 I've found the problem I installed the Sieg config files from the disc supplied by them which is for the USB version of the machine, but after searching the Small CNC support forum I found another software version dated 2015. I installed this  and after opening the Mach3 Loader there was another profile, KX3 USB, where as the disc only installed the KX3 5000.

Thanks
 Steve

 I'm trying to add the screen shots but for some reason the forum thinks the file names are the same and that I've already posted this message.


Thanks

Hi Kolias,

 I've tried all the USB ports on the PC and I've connected other devises to make sure they are working. I also checked the Motor Out and the Input Signals tabs and I think they are ok. Here are the screen shots of the tabs I've also added taken one of the Port Setup tab.

Thanks for your reply

General Mach Discussion / New KX3 not working
« on: June 06, 2017, 08:16:10 AM »
Hi,

 I have a new KX3 USB version configured for Mach3, which I've just setup for the first time and I can't figure out why it's not working, so I was hoping someone here could suggest anything I could check to get it working.

I followed the setting up procedure in the manual, except I using Windows 7 32 Bit instead of 2000 or XP. this is because The Mach3 web site says that you can run on Windows 7 32 bit and I've also downloaded the latest version of Mach3 from the web site.

 The rest of the procedure was as follows, after installing Mach3 I installed the Sieg configuration files from the disc supplied with the machine and restarted my computer. I then ran the driver test which was fine no issues, although I believe that's to check the driver for the serial port, which I don't have, but the machine connects via USB. I've connect everything up turned on the computer, then the KV3 and reset the emergency stop. I opened Mach3 and selected the Sieg KX3 5000 profile and hit the reset button. The KX3 5000 profile is displayed in the bottom right of the screen and before hitting the reset button the Status box say Driver initialised I then tried to move the cutting head using jog controls but nothing is happening.

Any help with this would be appreciated

Thanks
 Steve

Mach4 General Discussion / KX3 and Mach4 compatability
« on: June 02, 2017, 11:02:01 AM »
Hi Guys,

 I just bought a KX3 and was going to buy Mach3, but I have notice there is also a Mach4, is this newer software version compatible with the KX3. Would I need any  drivers or plugins other than what is needed for Mach3.

Thanks
 Steve
