LazyCam (Beta) / Missing chain in G-code

« on: June 03, 2009, 04:46:24 PM »

Hello,

This is my first experience with lazy cam. I'm trying to get a simple DXF (created in illustrator) into gcode. Everything looks great in LazyCam, but it only sends a few of the chains to Mach3. Any suggestions?

Mach3 and G-Rex / Homing and G100

« on: April 13, 2008, 03:36:10 PM »

Hello,

I recently got my home and limit switches installed, and they light up appropriately in the diagnosis screen when pressed. When I choose ref all home (or even ref x or ref y in the diag screen), the motors make no attempt to move. The box around the z-axis DRO turns green (since it has no home switch), but x and y remain stationary. I have to reset to be able to jog or use the machine after that point. I'm going crazy! Any tips as to why my homing might not be working?

Thanks,

Christopher

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 and G100 Freaking out

« on: March 25, 2008, 02:48:54 PM »

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. If I stop a Mach 3 program when it's running (by any means E-stop or just choosing "stop") any subsequent jogs result in an uncontrollable rapid of all three x, y and z axes all the way in the positive direction. I have to estop, and restart Mach 3. I've successfully run a few parts, but this jogging issue is enough to drive me crazy!

I'm using a G100 over ethernet attached to 3 G203V stepper drives.

Thanks,

Christopher
