NC Pod / Re: Mill with NC Pod and latest Mach only moving one direction on X, Y, and Z
« on: February 12, 2014, 02:37:20 PM »
OK, I'm messing with this machine and trying to get it to work so that it will make parts along with my other Mach 3 machines.
The good news is that I am able to get all four axes moving properly via g code entries to the MDI. However, when I use the MPG via the Tab key or use the keyboard arrow buttons, I can only get the table and spindle to move in one direction, not both.
I am able to run some simple 2.5D programs on it. I hope to test with some simple 3 and 4 axis programs this week.
An addition problem is that Mach is not remembering the fixture settings on this machine.
I bought this NC Pod system last summer. It hasn't worked correctly since initial installations and I only did it to get the machine off of Desk CNC and onto Mach 3. Is there anyone who understands enough about NC Pod and Mach 3 to help me get it operating properly?
Thanks,
Terry
