Forum suggestions and report forum problems. / Why Is my ISP Blocked?

« on: June 19, 2020, 03:57:50 PM »

Ok I have been a member here and a licensed user of Mach3 and Mach4 registered here and on the ArtSoft site forever. So for the past two or three weeks the only way I can get on either site is with Verizon Wireless (cell phone hot spot) OR like I am doing today with "Hide my IP" address?  Exact same computer, exact same browser. ??

Going through hell   with MediaCom and they don't know $hit.  So the question is to the website developer  and host at Artsoft why is my IP address blocked?  No its not on my end, remember when I am using Verizon and Hide my IP  address its fine.  My IP address today should show as a random one from San Francisco CA area.

Mach4 General Discussion / ArtSoft Website Down Again??

« on: June 13, 2020, 03:45:16 PM »

Here is the fun thing, I can log in from the house computer, but that won't work for the licensing as I need to log in from the actual computer the work software is on to get the PCID or whatever.  Same login from the shop computer... Password not valid???  Its so s l o w from either  location.  All MY OTHER sites are like the speed of light, I even stream my TV over it.

So is ArtSoft not paying its server rent or lease?? Its getting old, all I want is my license transferred to my new computer.

Mach4 Plugins / Stupid Vista Plug in, S and V reversed

« on: February 11, 2020, 05:40:18 PM »

My Vista M1 Pendent worked fine in Mach3 and Mach4 until I changed the setup  file and screen set to use the CNCRP / Avid setup so I could use their Auto Zero pad.  It all works fine Except the S & V on the Pendent are now reversed. I used the plug in file from the old Mach4 build but same old thing.

Suggestions or clues of where else to look??

Mach4 General Discussion / Mach3 to Mach4 with Warp9 ESS

« on: March 18, 2019, 01:22:56 PM »

I have screen prints of all the settings and I think but will confirm with the CheckList from the other side, But....

I have done a lot of pin assignments and the rest in the 233 Warp9 configure pull down. I can see the E-Stop button press but motors do nothing? 

So My Stupid question is that besides the Warp9 setup configure,  do I need to do it All Again in the plug down Control window?? I thought if you selected and configured the ESS that was the control setup?

I know this has been covered before, BUT since Search has been disabled here we go. 

Using Mach3 with Warp 9  ESS just fine on Windows 7 Pro laptop a Lenovo but would like to free up that computer for another rask. I have a Dell Latitude E5510 with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit I would like to use instead. Before I waste my time, Is this an option?    Running a 4x4 ft router table.

Yes I have been running CNC on my cinfigured laptops for years, not Win 10 however.

General Mach Discussion / No Motor Tuning Menu after Installing Simple Screen Set

« on: September 14, 2018, 07:29:13 AM »

Mach3  .44 version and using Warp9 ESS.  Downloaded from Downloads below the Simple Screen and wanted to use as I can see the buttons and screen much easier.  Now Motor Tuning in the pull down menu is missing?? I do have a full backup of it all but really like this screen set.   

Since this Simple Screen came from a school environment just wondering if the designer decided not to let students mess with certain menu items?
