General Mach Discussion / Need a recommendation for control board for plasma cutter.

« on: June 27, 2021, 03:38:30 PM »

I have a DIY plasma cutter and I want to upgrade it's control system.

Are there any recommendations on what would be the best machine control board. I'll be using Mach 3, a torch height controller, DM542T stepper drivers, touch-off height control on the Z and dual steppers on the X axis.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Question on Novum V2 BOB

« on: March 13, 2020, 04:21:36 PM »

If I'd known they were on the shame list I would have made another choice but I'm stuck now.

The question I have is with the USB interface what are the pin numbers for the outputs. Specifically I'm building a plasma torch and the M03 command will turn on the torch but I'm not really sure what output number to assign and what pin corresponds to that output.

Any help would be appreciated.

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / General questions on installing Newfangled Solutions add on

« on: February 01, 2011, 10:12:21 PM »

I just purchased the Newfangled Solutions add on and I'm not sure what's required.

I received a small license file via email with instructions to copy it to my Mach3 installation folder; that's not a problem. The question I have is, does it mean I already have the add on software as a part of my Mach3 installation? Is there a particular version of Mach3 that has it or has it always been a part of the installation?  If there is a particular version that is later than mine does that mean I have to upgrade to the newer version?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
