Galil / Galil 1842 migration to new PC
« on: December 28, 2016, 01:40:58 PM »
Hello all,
My old PC gave up the ghost so I'm building a new one.  Unfortunately I don't do this "Galil" stuff everyday so it's been 4 or 5 years since I touched it last....it typically just works.

A couple questions;
1)My old PC was running WinXP.  The replacement had Win7 so I just reinstalled Win7 to get a fresh build.  Will the Galil 1842 work with Win7 or do I need to get a copy of WinXP?
2)Is there a way to transport all the Galil files/configs over to the new machine?  I remember the last install being a bit challenging as the Galil controller has so much functionality that, unless you work with it regularly, it can become quickly overwhelming.
    2a) If I can't easily copy/paste the Galil folder and config files is there a way to see all my posts here from about 4 years ago so the Galil experts aren't answering all the same questions again?

Thanks all,

Mark

General Mach Discussion / Make tool change not move in X and Y
« on: October 24, 2016, 11:42:45 AM »
Hi all,
I've been using Mach3 for quite awhile but it's been a few years as we moved and I had to build a new shop then get set back up (I had to create a new account for this forum as I forgot the old and it's under an email address I no longer have access to).

I could have sworn that before tool changes just stopped the machine after the previous command had finished the cut and moved the cutter to the clearance plane.  Now my machine is moving to machine coordinates 0,0,0.  I can understand why this may be of value but I'd prefer it just stop, then I can jog to where I want without worrying about a cutter crashing into a tall feature or fixture as it heads to X0 Y0.  I'm ok with the Z going to machine zero but having 'untested' moves in the X and Y make me nervous.  Not to mention, with a larger table I'm almost always having to jog quite a ways to get back to the part to zero out the tool anyway.

Oh, I also moved to a new CAD/CAM software (Fusion 360) so perhaps this is causing the move.
Thanks,

Mark
