You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
Wow, thank you very much. I spent 3 hours fighting the problem before I desperately posted for help.
Thanks again

General Mach Discussion / Move off Home Switch

« on: April 26, 2011, 03:43:48 PM »

My Z & Y axis home switches suddenly stopped working ( they are wired in series ). They used to home with Z first and it would move off switch and Y would home and move off switch. Now - Z mvoes first and hits switch and does not move off. Y will not home. Then the X axis will home and move off switch ( X axis is wired seperatley.
Any idea's?
Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Video Card requirements for Mach 3

« on: March 05, 2011, 09:32:50 PM »

I am new and need to purchase the Mach 3. I am running Vista on a Dell with a 'INTEL 82945 Embedded Video'.
The web site states that you need the 'Non Integrated' video card. Can I purchase this and install easily?
Thanks

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Mach 3 Compatibility with Cabinet Vision Solid 6.0

I just purchased a blueChick CNC Kit 4.0 - Complete Kit at buildyourcnc. The kit should arrive within 2 weeks and I am trying to figure out the software to run the cad cam. I use Cabinet Vision Solid 6.0 and Alpha Cam at our cabinet shop for design. I assume the Mach 3 will interface with this software. Your comments and direction are appreciated.
