Mach3 under Vista / another issue with possibly with Win7
« on: September 27, 2017, 03:47:26 PM »
right guys amd girls i have spent most of this evening reading threads about problems runing under windows7 so i am aware people do have issues but my problem may go deeper..

so the old pc running my machine crashed, really struggled to get it going and just before i went to run a program it hung and so dont trust it and so its done.

sourced a new pc today fresh install of 32bit win 7 but it didnt have a paralell port on, wich for my aplication is required (Geko G540), so purchased a PCIe adon card spent all day fighting with it to get windows to see it aa a paralell port and buggered around to no avail. mach3 will not see the machine i am still unsure weather mach3 is using/seeing the port let alone the machine i have a feeling the card still isnt functionaing properly and so may source a new MoBo with onboard port. i have a part urgently waiting for machineing and so if not sorted by tomorow i will be replacing the mobo or complete computer as no more time can be wasted

my question is how do i know mach3 is seeing the card (using correct port adress)? i know there isnt much there but any pointers to look out for would be great.

regards
chris

General Mach Discussion / Issue with Mach3 under XP

Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong section could'nt see an xp based problems section.

I have been running mach 3 under xp and after working 2 hours through a 4/5 hour rough cut an error appeared on the screen. Art Code: 9991...now I am leaving the machine running to complete the path but can any one shed light on what this means and what has caused it...

thanks in advance

chris.

General Mach Discussion / Few Problems and Questions Re,Mach3
« on: December 17, 2013, 04:41:02 PM »
Hi guys!

Im a Relative Newbie to Mach3 and have one issue with crashing/freezing one issue i have overcome and the other is still a problem, i know the causes but the need to know why?

I have a Geko controller board on the machine and Mach 3 on the pc.

issue 1 that was solved, but any comments would be nice:

Half way through a cut cycle the PC decided to turn the screensaver on (didnt now it was activated) and crashed the machine nad in turn scrambled windows (running XP). i have since disabled the screen saver and thus solved the issue,

issue 2.

for no reason at all the machine restarted no code loaded was just jogging around clearing up dust etc after a cut. but it wouldnt restart without the cnc maching being either turned off or the parallel cable being removed. i assume a signal is being sent from the maching to the PC stopping the reboot as when turned off or cable removed it startes fine...why??


an finally i want to move over to another Pc but not to reconfigure Mach3 for the machine, i have seen you guys talking of a XMP or XML file and copy it over, is this ALL the settings??

thanks in advance and sorry for the longwinded probably confusing post

Chris
