General Mach Discussion / Re: Upgrades, what a pain in...
« on: October 19, 2007, 06:29:50 AM »
No, I have not figured it out.
After the upgrade no highlighted path when the cnc is machining and can't get it back.

I gave up, screen-dumped all the other settings and re-installed by schratch.

cheers,

No, I don't. I see a dozen of xml files  in the Mach3 directory and I wouldn't know which one to save. Maybe the install information is unclear here or maybe I'm the stupid one in a smart guys classroom but I still rely in that a software update is not supposed to wipe out any of my previous settings.
Anyway, given that, when I load another profile, say "Mach3 original 2" the highlyghted toolpath is visible, in my profile is not. As the toolpath settings of the two profiles are identical, my question to the forum is: what else can be different after the update ? Thanks.

It really makes me go crazy that EVERY time I upgrade my Mach3, R2.48 now, the highlyght of the worked path in the toolpaths disappears and it is impossible to judge how far the tool has come.

My toolpaths settings are:  Enhance=   1     1    0       Material=     0       0.1        0.1

as usual now I have to write everything down and remove/reinstall Mach3. What a chore!

For what I understood from the video:

Settings page Rotation Diameters: A[+0.0001

should be the diameter of the block being milled. Did you try with, say, 100 mm ?

General Mach Discussion / Inductive proximity switch
« on: June 28, 2007, 03:50:58 AM »
I have bought one on ebay, the idea is to test it as homing switch or tool lenght gauge. I see that operating voltage is 10-30V and the output will be the same minus a  drop of 1-2V.  So I'm looking for a diagram showing how to interface it to the home's pin or the input pin of the parallel port of the pc.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Gianni

Sure.  The upper is the standard profile, the lower the profile without milled path.
