General Mach Discussion / HELP HELP TO GET STARTED ON MOCK3 MILL

« on: January 15, 2013, 01:35:43 AM »

THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!!

I RECIENTLY PURCHASED MACH3.  I HAVE ONLY OPENED THE TRIAL VERSION AT THIS TIME.  WHEN I OPEN UP MACH3 MILL THE RESET BUTTON IS FLASHING AND A MESSAGE SAY THAT THE E-STOP IS ACTUATED.  I DO NOT HAVE THE SOFTWARE CONNECTED TO A MACHINE AND I HAVE NOT UNLOCKED THE DEMO VERSION WITH MY CODE.  I AM JUST TRYING TO PLAY AND LEARN THE PROGRAM.  SO FAR I CAN'T GET PAST THE E-STOP PROBLEM.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN,  I WANT TO HAVE FUN WITH THE REST OF YOU GUYS


THANKS

HARRY

NEED SOME HELP

MY NAME IS HARRY (gearhead1)  I HAVE A HOME MACHINE SHOP THAT I PLAY IN.  MY EQUIPMENT  CONSISTS OF A BRIDGEPORT KNEE MILL WITH DRO,  13X40 LATHE, SMALL SURFACE GRINDER, A HARDINGE TURRET LATHE,  BRIDGEPORT 412X VMC, AND WELDING EQUIPMENT.

I LOVE DESIGNING AND BUILDING MECHANICAL STUFF.  CURRENTLY I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERTING THE TURRET LATHE TO A CNC TOOL.  I HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH CNC CONVERSIONS.  I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOWNLOAD OF MACH3.  I HAVE PURCHASED THE SOFTWARE HOWEVER I HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT ONTO MY SHOP COMPUTER YET BECAUSE I WANT TO RUN IT IN DEMO MODE ON MY LAP TOP JUST TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH MACH3.

WHEN I OPEN MACH3 MILL UP EVERYTHING LOADS UP BUT THE RESET BUTTON IS FLASHING AND THERE IS A MESSAGE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN ABOUT THE E-STOP.  WHEN I RESET THE RESET BUTTON IT JUST KEEPS BLINKING AND THE E-STOP MESSAGE WILL NOT GO AWAY.  WHAT CAN I DO TO GET PAST THIS ERROR SO I CAN PLAY.

THANK YOU

HARRY
