General Mach Discussion / Problem

« on: October 24, 2006, 04:26:58 PM »

Upgraded the "computer" to a biostar motherboard and AMD 64 about 2.4g.

G0 moves the axis, G1 won't move at all....no errors (I'm not using feedback of any kind, 1 axis driller). Readout moves, axis won't.

I put it on another computer and it works fine. I'm sure the configs are identical. Has anyone had problems with certain hardware acting goofy?

General Mach Discussion / External reset button

« on: July 01, 2006, 12:21:07 PM »

I feel dumb, the drive works and the homing and limits work and everything seems smoothe till I tried to make an external reset. I was going to use an oem trigger but evidently I don't know the oem code.

I need an output also when in e-stop mode, haven't even tried it yet. Any suggestions? I did a search and didn't find anything.

Mach Screens / Screen 4 problems

« on: May 20, 2006, 11:26:22 AM »

First of all I want to say thank you to all the developers, Mach3 works flawlessly for our "little" project we are doing (one axis stepping motor) and I am considering an upgrade to our anilam crusader using a Mach3 system. Very logically written and the vid tuts are incredible.

I can't get screen4 to do much, most of the functions I get a popup with a yellow emergency looking icon and I have to dump it with ctrl-alt-del.

I'm on a hopped up athalon system with Win2kPro. I'm going to try it on XP when I get home... does the OS make a difference?
