General Mach Discussion / Macros
« on: August 04, 2016, 05:00:43 PM »
Mach3 setup and I want a lamp to light when the program has finished. I added a macro to the macro folder called M30 with the code ActivateSignal (OUTPUT5). If I run the code in the VB editor window it works ok and reset cancels the output. However M30 in the code did not run the macro. In case M30 was not allowed I tried M100 and also M3 but they would not run my code. I have tried with 2 separate mach3 machines with the same result. What am I doing wrong?

Finished Screens / Plasma screen

Is there a dedicated plasma screen that does not have references to spindle speed and other non plasma functions?

General Mach Discussion / Pulse problem
« on: March 17, 2010, 03:28:46 PM »
Just set up Mach3 on a new,(recon), computer and have a problem with the pulse outputs. Driver test exellent. Checked pulses with scope and instead of 5 us pulses with variable frequency I have variable pulse width, ie PWM. This is on X and Y outputs. Also I have the same waveform on the direction pins as well. Is there a setting for this I have overlooked, I know about the spindle PWM setup but I am not using that.
Any ideas?

FAQs / Please wait, generating path
« on: April 29, 2009, 10:42:42 AM »
Hi
Just installed Mach 3 on a machine with XP professional.
Seems to be working ok, screens are there and usable.
But ‘teach’ simple G code and I get a window saying ‘please wait, generating path’, it never produces one!!!
Processor at about 2% so no overload. Used same download on another machine, ok, so must be a machine setup related, any ideas???
