General Mach Discussion / Cutting multiple circles instead of the G-Code I programmed

« on: September 28, 2018, 03:08:02 PM »

I'm setting up my CNC (again) I've had some issues with it and my PC. Something has gone haywire and the G-Code is clustered with a bunch of circles over the file I've created. Is this a problem with configuration or my Lic & Software. I do the drawing in CamBam and run G-Code in Mach3. ALSO - My "Y" Axis is stretching the circles into ovals, how do I correct this? My CNC is a 4x8 BLACKFOOT. I just replaced a Microstepper & added UCCNC100 Ethernet interface. It seems to jog OK from the Keyboard, although I think my X & Y AXIS were switched in the PORTS & PINS. So I switched that, Now I'm not even sure how to ZERO the machine. Ugh...any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

FAQs / Plugin DLL Defective - UC400ETH - HELP!!!

« on: July 03, 2017, 01:43:02 PM »

I had my old PC die and I'm trying to get back up and running. My new computer Windows7 is 64bit with no printer port. So, I purchased a uC400eth and it seems to be hooked up correctly. I reloaded my Mach3 and dropped in my serial# file. When IO open Mach3 I get "Plugin DLL Defective. Reload." popup. If I click on it, it goes away. BUT - my Mach3 isn't communicating with my CNC. I'm a Newbie and I'm not well versed in computer language or all these abbreviations. I'm seriously lost! Can you find it in your heart to talk this old sign maker through this? thank you!
