General Mach Discussion / Hot Key, space bar

« on: May 24, 2014, 10:39:13 AM »

The space bar repeats the last button clicked by the mouse.  How can I eliminate this hot key function?  Also is there a way query for all hot key assignments?

thanks,  Quin

General Mach Discussion / Screen Resolution problem

« on: April 02, 2014, 09:32:41 PM »

Just converted from V1.84 to V3.043.057.

I build a screen and save it as 1280 x 1024.  When I open Mach3 with a 1024 x 768 resolution, I don't get the full screen. when I increase the resolution, it only fills 75% of the screen and displays my hidden buttons and DRO's.

I am using windows XP.

Suggestions?

General Mach Discussion / Input problem

« on: March 06, 2014, 08:15:29 AM »

Mach3 appears to not be reading inputs from the BOB.  With the BOB powered down, I load Mach3. The screen recognizes that LS inputs are active for about 1 sec and shows them inactive (on the diagnostic screen).  I turn on the BOB and test limits and get no reaction on diagnostic screen.  Also I get no outputs.  Any thoughts?

General Mach Discussion / Desk top short cut

« on: March 04, 2014, 05:37:58 PM »

The Mach3 desk top icon brings up a list of profiles to select from.  How can I create a custom icon that will load Mach3 with a specified profile without going thru the selection process every time.

Thanks,

Screen designer tips and tutorials / screen problem after upgrading from V1.84 to V3.043

« on: January 08, 2014, 09:29:55 PM »

I have been using v1.84 with success but wanted to up grade to V3.043 to take advantage of amending the initialization string.  With V1.84 my screen was fine at a 1024 x 768 resolution.  After I installed V3.043, my screen set would only fill about 80% of the monitor at a resolution of 800 x 600.  What am I over looking?

General Mach Discussion / OEM code

« on: November 04, 2013, 07:20:10 PM »

One of my screen buttons needs to be inoperable when the Estop is active.  I can
't seem to find the OEM code for Estop so I can use it in the script for my button.

Any help would be appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Outputs on at startup

« on: November 05, 2012, 07:52:56 PM »

If I turn on my machine after a computer boot-up and then make a home switch active (active low), outputs #1 & 2 become active (active high).  This condition goes away after cycling the home switches a few times.  It only happens after a computer boot-up.  Any solutions??

General Mach Discussion / Motor problem

« on: October 17, 2012, 06:21:39 PM »

I am just starting up a new machine with version 1.84 Mach3 which has worked fine on an identical machine.
The Z stepper works fine.  The X motor oscillates back and forth and runs very rough.  the breakout board is a C10 and all other inputs and outputs are working ok.  Any ideas?
