i changed the motor on my max nc mill and am trying to utilize a solid state relay on port 1, pin 1, ouptut 1 to turn the motor on and off.  When i line enter, or create gcode, with m3, I cannot get pin 1 to go high.  The diagnostics screen blinks output 1, but voltage measurements on the pin do not change ~0.  I have configured the output screen and spindle set-up screen.  Any thoughts?

FAQs / mach3 and maxnc 15 OL

« on: May 27, 2013, 03:14:00 PM »

I have been using mach3 and the maxnc15 for over a year - 2D cutting with no problems.  I am beginning to experiment 3d cutting with cut3d.  My problem is - my maxnc seems to loose track of 0 height on the z axis.  All other axis' seem to be fine, but the z axis seems to go too deep after a while.  If I stop the program, and return the cutter to 0, mach3 says it is at 0, but my bit is below my original 0 surface.  It starts out fine, and cuts fine for a while, then seems like it looses track of itself.  Any suggestions?
