General Mach Discussion / Brand new to CNC, mach3...well everything.
« on: December 02, 2010, 07:41:21 PM »
Ok so I am brand new to all of this and need help with getting running. First let me give an overview of what I'm running, or trying.
Fireball V90
Breakout: PBX-RF
3 axis ProboStep Motor/Driver
40VDC Linear
Computer: Laptop dual core windows 7 64bit and desktop with XP pro 32bit
I bought a smoothstepper and will be using registered copy of sheetcam and mach3
So my questions are what do I do to start this machine up, and how do I setup mach for this? I literally have no idea where to start. As far as my background, I have never ran or seen a cnc in person, just what I've researched online, and I'm still lost. I do have the V90 assembled as of about an hour ago. I got the ready to run box with it so all the drivers and power supply is already setup.
I appreciate any help and hope I'm not too new and too much trouble. Feel like I have gotten a little over my head. Oh and I'm getting into this to start a small business and I will hopefully be cutting carbon fiber laminate. Thanks so much!
