General Mach Discussion / Drop down menus not working

« on: August 14, 2008, 02:04:23 PM »

Today I was working away setting up my Mach to run my router, and I went to click on "config" and "homing limits" and I can see the item on the drop down and I can click on it by the underling screen does not appear. Needless to say this has my work for the day stopped.

Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know why this would happen?

I have restarted Mach3 several times and rebooted the computer.

HELP!!!

FAQs / JHF Vista Chinese Router Conversion

« on: August 10, 2008, 02:14:18 PM »

I am a newbie converting my JHF Vista Chinese CNC router to Mach 3. I purchased my package from lowcostcncretrofits.com. I have having difficulty figuring out what the steps per inch or the steps per revolution of the machine is so that I configure Mach3 correctly. I have the x-axis running smoothly, but at arbitrary setting which I developed by trial and error. The y and z axes are apparently being overdriven as the work in one direction, but not in the other.

Does anyone have a simple step by step procedure to set up the drives when you do not know the native resolution?
