General Mach Discussion / MPG axis change turns off Jogging

« on: November 11, 2011, 05:12:40 PM »

I have a Handy Pulser MPG that works fine with a Brain except when I switch between axis.  More often then not, the jogging will be turned off and I'll have to turn it back on before I can use the MPG.  All axis work fine, it's just the switching between them that causes problems.  I'm worried it's a hardware issue but thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any suggestions.

FAQs / Memoryoverride.zip?

« on: November 15, 2010, 09:49:39 PM »

The latest M3 manual mentions running memoryoverride.zip after first installation.  I've been having trouble with my software after a resent upgrade and thinking that the M3 parallel port driver might be to blame (?).  Would a reinstall of this file make any difference?  Also, does the Parallel Port Driver reside in the C:\Mach3 folder?  And if so, what is it called?  Thanks.

FAQs / Connection Problem

« on: November 14, 2010, 08:07:26 PM »

My machine was working fine with Mach3 prior to some fumbling with the software.  Now I am seeing all black on the LEDs on the Diagnosis page.  I have reverted to a Port/Pin configuration that has been known to work, the breakout board appears to be functioning and is responsive to limit switches and when I disconnect the parallel port.  A total reinstall of Mach3 makes some Pin LEDs green but I still have no control.  Jog mode is currently and permanently off.  What should I try?

General Mach Discussion / Problem finding machine

« on: November 14, 2010, 04:07:10 PM »

After some messing with Mach3 software, (updating, integrating with Lazy, finding license) I can no longer find my machine.  My port LEDS are all black in my Diagnosis screen.  I think all the ports are configured as before (Does anyone know the name of the file that remembers the users configs?).  I have two usb cables that connect to my PC, once is for a MPG and the other is for the machine itself, that might be the problem but I don't know.  The manual doesn't offer any trouble shooting suggestions.  Any ideas of what might be wrong?
