General Mach Discussion / Mach3 GCode line limit

« on: June 25, 2011, 03:17:09 PM »

Hi there.
I've been using the 3.042 Mach3 trial version for a long time now and only today I noticed that I can not run more than 150 lines of Gcode.
I know that for the trial version the line limit is set to 500 lines!
This happens in Mach3Turn as far as I know because I didn't try the Mill version yet (I mean with a part code over the 150 lines).
My setup is Windows XP SP3 and KeyGrabber.

Can someone tell me where I go wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a "collection" of lathe wizards something that can expand the default wizards library.
I did already get the "Turning extra", but is there anything tha can create a shape like a JAR?

Thanks everybody.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 turn wizard. How to link wizards?

« on: May 11, 2010, 03:32:23 PM »

So, I want to use basic wizards to run a more complex work. I mean, for example, facing then reduce the OD and then taping the part with a defined angle in the lathe chuck.
Is there a way to concatenate all of these operation and produce a more complex part code?
I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks.

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Turn and CNC setup

« on: May 07, 2010, 09:36:26 AM »

Hi. This is my first post, so if this topic has been already discussed somewhere else please insert the topic link.

OK. The problem is that after upgrading my Proxxon PD400 to CNC and after I've used Mach3turn to set everything like backlash, motor tuning and so on, I changed the X coordinate system from radius to diameter, because my DRO works with diameters units.
Everything in the setup and motor tunning has changed. The backlash does not work anymore and I've to recalculate it again, the step per unit has doubled the value, and so on.
Is there anybody out there that can tell me where did I go wrong and what is the correct procedure to calibrate the system?
Why if I change the coordinate system from radius to diameter everything stops working?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
