I have had very little luck over the years with various auto zero scripts I have tried Recently, I saw a very good one, and would really like to use it. I copied and pasted the script using the the VB editor. But when I ran the script. It did not perform correctly.
The author of the script asked me to send him my hiddenscript.m1s file. When he examined it, he found there was only code, but no script. Does anyone have an idea as to what could be wrong with my script?
Thanks,
Gareth

Hi, My machine is working very well for general use. However, I have recently been trying to v-carve pictures in wood with limited success. Since the max depth of cut is .04", I probably need to set up my z axis more precisely. Obviously, I cannot do this with the steel rule I have been using up to now.

What type of measuring instrument to I need to measure distance precisely?

Thanks,
Gareth

General Mach Discussion / Parallel port help
« on: February 19, 2012, 11:27:12 AM »
Hi,
After finally getting my machine to work well, I was having problems with my old 2nd hand PC, which kept crashing. So I installed Mach3 on a newer machine. The problem is the irregular pulsing from the parallel port.

When I run the driver test, although there are long periods of "excellent", there are also irregular messages about pulsing "too fast" and "too slow"

I have not tried it connected to my machine, but I don't imagine it will prove very successful. The port is set to run under ecp and epp mode.

Can anybody suggest a solution please?

Thanks,
Gareth

General Mach Discussion / jogging problems
« on: September 27, 2011, 04:04:21 PM »
Hi all,
Been using Mach3 for about 3 months now, with few problems. Today I rewired my motors from parallel to series (because I found that my driver boards could only deliver 3 amps to 5 amp rated motors and the resultng loss of torque was proving an impossible obstacle)
When I started Mach again, the motors will only jog at about 3 to 4" / minute. If I put code into the dro, they move at normal speed (15"/min). I have jogging set to 100%. I rebooted several times and checked all settings, but can find nothing obvious. In any case I did not change anything in Mach 3.

Can someone please help me?

Gareth
