General Mach Discussion / USB Ecut card issues

« on: December 03, 2018, 01:12:01 PM »

Hello all,
I've recently installed a Ecut USB motion card. But I have some serious issues with it. When I start mach3 and use the parallel port option on startup then the program works fine and all functions work.
But when I start up and select the ecut USB driver I get troubles. Jogging works but I don't get movement when I type gcode in the MDI nor do I get movement when running a gcode file.
Can someone please tell me what is going wrong?
When i type X10 for instance nothing happens. When i type F50 the feed rate does change. Can it have something to do with homing etc? maybe some simple software setting?

« on: March 05, 2017, 04:28:19 PM »

Hello all,
I've been working with mach3 for a while but now i've encountered a problem.
When i want do do a tool change in a gcode program something strange happens, if i want to use tool14 i type:
T1414 M6
..
then my mach3 on my machine computer crashes sort of, the axels keep running and the program isn't running further
If i use T0303 all is ok, But if i start using everithing from tool 10 (T1010) the problem occurs
