Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: Touch Screen or should I say getting one to work with Mach3

« on: December 22, 2020, 06:44:09 AM »

Hi All,
I would like to add a touchscreen to my cnc which has a OEM version of Mach3. Is there anything that I need to change in the software, is there a plugin or does the whole screenset need to be changed?
Any help would be great as there is not a lot on YouTube to go on that takes you from start to finish and I would like to find out before purchasing a touchsceen of any sort. Just an addition to the above. Am I in the right part of the Forum and other than buying a touch screen is there anything that I need to do other than plug it into my laptop?

Cheers
BB

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Change Inches to MMs

« on: October 29, 2018, 06:50:41 AM »

Hi,

I have a legacy Arty, my machine was in inches. I contacted customer support through email and Mosiah was very helpful updated my software and converted it to metric via Team Viewer. I am in Australia so Utah hours are my sleeping hours and I did not have to be at the pc. The feed DRO? could not be changed and remained in inches per foot, I have not been at the machine long enough to work out if the numbers actually relate to ft or mm. I also asked him to change the tool change position to the centre of the bed but the same centre position of the fixed touch off pad ie y = +300    x =  50.? centre of touch off plate, if you know what I mean. I seems easier to change the bits over there and it still touches off ok when setting up the auto tool change.

Cheers
