General Mach Discussion / Mach3 with Zenbot - Scaling Issue
« on: March 09, 2014, 11:20:25 PM »
Hi,
My name is Jim and I am trying to use Mach3 with my Zenbot CNC machine. I am encountering some issues, however.
I have creating a toolpath for my drawing in Vectric 2D and now want to use Mach3 to control my machine. The guy from Zenbot gave me a pre-set profile for Mach3 that is made to work with this particular machine. Also note that I am using a MachforWin64 kit and Windows 8.
My issue is that when I load the G-Cod on Mach3 and jog the machine, Mach3 shows that I have moved a certain distance, like 2mm, but the machine has actually moved way more than that (like a foot!) Does anyone know what my problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
