General Mach Discussion / Windows 7 64b and uc100 Mach3 Plasma

« on: December 08, 2016, 01:26:20 PM »

Hello, I have a 3 axis system with 4 drive motors. X, Y, Z, and A slaved to the Y. I have it set up in Mach3.  A is slaved to Y. Restarted Mach afterwords. I have had this setup operating on another computer until the computer quit working. I have another desktop hooked up now and just running on demo until I can get it working properly, then I will transfer the licence over.
 I can get the x, z, to operate in both direction the Y will move both directions but I get no movement out of the Slaved "A" motor.

Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank

General Mach Discussion / Transfer Licence to a new computer

« on: December 08, 2016, 10:34:45 AM »

So, I have been struggling with getting my Machine configured to a new computer. I figured out that most of the problem was the computer I was trying to use had a motherboard isue I guess. So that particular Dell POS is going to meet with a pound of Tannerite!! Anyway, I have another pc that I am in the process of setting up and is running in Demo mode right now. My question is, How do I transfer Mach3 from one pc to the other and how do I transfer the licence?

MACH TOOL BOX / Parallel port configuration

« on: November 25, 2016, 09:00:23 PM »

Hello, I have been building my plasma table for awhile now and have been working on RF shielding issues. I had my machine operating on a Compaq PC with XP. It worked ok except for the HF issues. Computer quit and I got a Dell with XP but I cant get it to operate my machine. I have checked to pins on the parallel port and for some reason its not putting out the propper sygnals to the pins.

Pins,2,6,and 25 have 3.3 volts with program sitting idle.

Pins 10,11,12,13,and 24 have 4.3 volts all other pins have 0 volts. I have assigned pins in motor outputs and tested with meter and I get readings that do not correspond the the control inputs
 Help Please

Thanks
