Mach3 and G-Rex / G100 Limit Inputs in MACH3

« on: December 06, 2006, 08:43:58 PM »

Hi list,

Has anyone setup limit switches with Mach & a G100.  I've got the hardware working (lite comes up on the G100), but can't seem to get Mach to see the switch.  I tried going into >Ports&Pins>InputSignals, but these don't seem to pertain to the G100.  Any clues would be appreciated.

Best,

Kenneth

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a source for Quadrature Encoders for use with a NEMA 23 Steppers ?  Looking high and low with no luck thus far.

Thanks,

Mach3 and G-Rex / No Grex Hardware Detected

« on: November 13, 2006, 12:01:58 AM »

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the Artsoft community.  Please welcome me with open arms and a cold beer.
My background is in Electronics, however I picked up the CNC bug, and I'm going for broke on
this project.  Seemed that the G100 and the G212's were the best investments.

Formalities aside, and without further ado...

here is where I'm at....

I installed Mach3 Release 1.84.002, saved the G100.m3p to the MACH directory.  Restarted the system, ran Mach.
Upon selecting config>grex control, the stat window responded with "No Grex Hardware Detected"
I have loaded "G101_DLP_3750_051028" into the firmware of the G100 via the utility. 

So my question is: "What am I doing wrong ?"

Thanks in advance!

Kenneth
