Feature Requests / steps per unit calulator NEEDS FIXING.

« on: July 06, 2020, 04:22:59 AM »

OK... guys think about this one for a moment.

Goto WIZARDS and scroll down to "steps per unit calculator basic".

There is massive issue with this wizard regarding "developer verse user" outlook on how to use this wizard.

So... think about the issue I am having here. I am from Australia. We use metric, not the American imperial that is the base standard for this software.

I am confronted with "MOVE DISTANCE UNITS". Welcome to a repeating headache I am having with this software (lazy UI programmers). Are those the units, the units I have specified in my profile settings and inherited into the wizard ?!? or is this software still just calculating an American Imperial default of one inch as per the instructional video? (if it is the later then why isnt units specified >.< )

What I am suggesting to do is make the calculator able to specific to the unit of measurement and take the guessing out.

Thank you for reading.

Mach4 Plugins / Mach4 not recognising plugin files XHC MK3_M4

« on: June 30, 2020, 05:44:53 PM »

Moderator if I have done anything wrong please help me to correct. First time poster and user of mach4 hobby so go easy!

I have read the main threads about XHC controllers. There is alot of technical information in this forum and at this point in time I have not been able to find a solution to my specific problem.


My installation is a fresh copy of Mach4 hobby.

I have read the manual and I am stuck at page 10 of the controller config.

I have installed the current drivers from the manufacture and put the files in the plug in folder as specified but they do not show up in the panel EVEN AFTER a hardware reset!!

How do I get the plugin to show up so that I may set a motion device and continue to setup my machine?

Thanks in advance.
