General Mach Discussion / H-Bot + Mach3, is it possible?

« on: October 08, 2013, 06:13:17 PM »

Do you think it is possible to program Mach3 to work in an H-Bot style configurations?

General Mach Discussion / closing the loop in mach?

« on: August 21, 2008, 01:17:55 PM »

My CNC is stepper based.   It happens to be a home built systems, so it does not work, all the time. I have added 3 encoder to my CNC looking to make my CNC closed loop. From what I can tell, this is not supported by mach.  It can be done with extra hardware, but only for fault states.  I am looking to do on the fly position correction. Is this possible?  Could it be done with a plugin?

Does any one know what a "G&L Beijer MAC/ MTA E300 Operator Interface Panel" is, or if I could adapt it to run with Mach?

General Mach Discussion / inconstant speeds?

« on: February 27, 2008, 08:48:14 PM »

Hope this is an easy fix.
Mach3 and a HobbyCNC driver board on a 3 axis CNC.

The part file is set to cut at 100units/min and on the lines every thing moves at those speeds.  When I get to a curve every thing slows way down, 30ish.  I know that the G-Code only has the speed set to 100.  Is there a setting in mach3  that I need enable/disable?
