General Mach Discussion / Video / webcam problems
« on: February 10, 2012, 08:33:31 AM »
Hi guys

just got a camera from Arnie - no drivers with this just using the one in windows xp the camera worked no problems, but  in mach when I select the video screen the camera gets warm the screen is not good pixelated and then locks up.  I tried centrecam using the same drivers and the same camera! which runs cooler in this software,  and does not freeze up.   So I assume its something within mach, I am running version R3.042.040.
now if i download the latest mach (lockdown version) and just install it over my current configuration will that be fine or do I have to uninstall my current mach setup (Hurr not what id look forward to) I have found another plug in from Karl http://www.kd-dietz.com/klausphp/index_eng.html# but don't want to just install a load of stuff if the main cause is elsewhere..

General Mach Discussion / 4th axis problem
« on: July 05, 2011, 02:05:15 PM »
Hello

I have set up my 4th axis mechanically and all seems well BUT I have output gcode from a cad / cam system profiling the shape of a propeller cone. in the z axis there is one profile and all the rest are on top of this profile there is no 3d view I have ran it off line and the A axis is rotating but the 3d profile is not there. I have rebuilt my systems over the last year and the last time I out put this code it worked. Is there a setting in mach I should be aware of.. Any help appreciated.

General Mach Discussion / Help Needed on Debounce
« on: June 03, 2011, 03:24:48 PM »
I have a new system and put mach on - the problem is the  stop keeps lighting up and stopping everything debounce was set at 3000 so I uped it to 4 still not good then uped it to 5000 and sstill trigers happen  ruffly every 4-5 mins I thought 5000 was as high as I should go unless you all know different, and I thought this might have an underlying problem.

p.s pc has  an atom processor built onto the board.

Help

About to build a small footprint PC with a Dual core Atom Processor,  this is purely to run mach,  space is a premium so ITX offers the size BUT it has only 1 expansion slot (pci) and one  parallel port. it has on board Graphics and this is my worry. do people tend to have problems with on board G.cards. I could fit a pci G card BUT if I run 4th axis would I need another parallel port and run into a dead end.

General Mach Discussion / Probing Software
« on: October 18, 2010, 01:43:39 PM »
Hi I am about to purchase a Probe from Arnie,  can anyone point me in the right direction for the best software to use with the Probe. Also a bit confused as to the procedure in using the probe, does the software automatically reference the sides of the component you want to probe etc. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
