Hi Dennis,

Sorry to hear that you are not getting the support with Mach3 that you need.

What USB to Parallel Port cable do you have ?
(the standard ebay adapters just do not work).

If you are using a laptop then you need a recognised motion controller (such as the Warp9 ESS or similar).

I presume you are using stepper motors, which motor controllers do you have ?

Mach3 under Vista / Re: Mach3 won't load new g codes

« on: December 23, 2017, 02:10:31 AM »

Use Notepad to open one of your newly generated Gcode files.
Is it actually Gcode ?
Does it look anything like one of your older Gcode files ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: No deceleration on surfboard chatting

Hi,

There is nothing in your Gcode which would cause it to end with a stop without deceleration (as specified in Motor Tuning). Interesting that you have reduced the feed-rate in steps towards the end but that should not cause an issue.
If an Estop or limit switch is being detected whilst your Gcode is running then an exact stop will occur but there will be a message in the Status window to tell you that this has happened.
One thing you may wish to keep in mind is that all Mach3 Gcode should end with a Carriage Return and the easiest way to ensure this is to make the last line a null character such as %. Without this CR the last line of Gcode will be ignored.

Hi,

You have attached your Shape3D file - what I would like to see is your Gcode file (as you would load to Mach3).

If you could .zip and then attach your Gcode file we could take a look and hopefully find the problem.

Building or Buying a Wood routing table.. Beginnners guide.. / Re: need help plssssss

Hi Andrei,

Because you are using Mach3 in Demo...
Mach3 will load the whole of your Gcode when it is not connected to a controller.
When it is connected to a controller it will only load the first 500 line of Gcode. (this is a restriction placed on the Demo)

You need to purchase a Mach3 license to unlock the software; http://www.machsupport.com/shop/mach3/

Hi Steven,

Perhaps, as an initial step, follow through the Warp9 documentation on migration from Mach3 to Mach4 just to check that you have not overlooked something basic. https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/gettingstarted/migrating-from-mach3-to-mach4
