VB and the development of wizards / Using Mach3 digitizing as a stand alone to run anther machine

« on: January 18, 2022, 09:51:16 PM »

So I still have Mach3 licence on an old desktop and the machine i use is a Milltronics 7 pc based. it had digitizing at some point using stand alone pc with Digiscan software which is now obsolete, is there any way somebody could help me figure out how to install a macro or some how DNC the digitizing mach3 program and then using my skip g31 function sort of thing if you know what I mean, because I don't.
Thanks, Ray.

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Re: Problems by using the Stepmode all Axes will move at the same time [SOLVED]

I have just about given up with the whole thing and I have been servicing CNC machines for over 40 years, but not PC based, if you use the motion board in between you will have nothing but trouble, first you get one thing to work then another doesn't.

General Mach Discussion / Touch screen help

« on: August 07, 2014, 10:46:58 PM »

I might of posted this before but do I need to do anything special if I want to use a touch screen. I am thinking of selling my mill and have been using a key board and mouse, but I think if I make it touch screen it might be easier to sell. Will any of the Mach3 screens work with touch screen?
Thanks Ray.

I can't find "enable USB MPG check box" how do I know if I have the latest firmware or plugin update, I think Feb, was the latest I did.

So I guess the USB one is not going work either, so do I have to make one?

Went to my local electronic store and asked for a db25 M/F parallel cable, he said they don't carry them only USB, " don't you mean serial"  My system is DSPMC but I thought I might play around with steppers.

General Mach Discussion / Re: So why doesn't the 3D probe plugin work anymore

« on: March 18, 2014, 08:43:31 PM »

But the digitizer shown on Ebay has a video and it's fast, and that's not the digitizing wizard, seems like everything I try to use has some sort of problem, guess you get what you pay for...

That is really slow. I don't understand, did it work or what, it seems that every time I try to do something the software doesn't work or some sort of hiccup .
