« on: July 07, 2015, 02:50:48 AM »

Hi

just got a USB Cam and it comes back with a VideoOCX 24 bits color depth error, I have looked thru the forum and it has been discussed, but there seam to be a void between "I have this problem" and "It works better now"

I loaded the plugin V3 and it shows up in there but Mach3 farts at me every time.

Help please

General Mach Discussion / I never get a break! Stepper shutters back and forth!

« on: May 15, 2015, 05:59:04 PM »

HI again,

Ok I go it all back together and made a a few test passes (no spindle motor in place), looked great, and on the last pass, headed for home, the X axis started to shutter back and forth, Help?

 Testing moved, moved motor feed to other Steeper driver, problem fallowed, the setup was the same on both drivers, if I disconnect the motors and short them it loads up, disconnected it if free runs.

what more info do you need?

I will be waiting baited breath!

Hi,

Mach3, load a G-code file and the motor tuning numbers stay the same, but if I recheck the Z it goes from what was a .5" on the DRO to .06xx", for .5" on the Dial indicator.
