General Mach Discussion / UC100, exchanging Z axis for A axis

« on: September 21, 2016, 04:00:57 PM »

I have a UC100 coupled to a 3 axis Sherline mill.
The Z axis step and direction output from the UC100 has recently failed.  X & Y axis working ok.
(It would appear that the processor in the UC100 is not user replaceable and a new UC100 is around £150!)
I can go into Ports & Pins to enable the A axis and setting Step and Direction pins to 8 & 9.  However . . . . . . . . .
Is there a way of fooling Mach3 to output Z axis step and direction info to the currently unused the A axis?

General Mach Discussion / Running Mach3 with UC100 disconnected

« on: March 24, 2015, 06:42:38 PM »

I am running Mach3 on my laptop (Windows7, 64) to control my Sherline Mill.  All running well in my workshop.
Is there a way to run Mach3 without being connected to UC100 so that I can run it in my house?  Doesn't want to reset at present.
