General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Windows 10 update -- don't do it

« on: December 10, 2018, 01:39:46 AM »

Hi PriSim,

Mach3 will only operate via the Parallel Port if you are using a 32 bit OS with Win7 (or older). https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/

Unfortunately the forum Search facility has been broken for some time now - perhaps, one day, it will be fixed.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: code - while ismoving

« on: December 08, 2018, 02:46:57 AM »

do I need to place a while ismoving loop in between code statements with no other script statement between them ?

Yes.

From my experience and to be on the safe side the;

While IsMoving()
Wend

statements should follow every Code statement.

In Config / General Config.   change the IJ Mode.

Ideally, all Gcode files containing arcs should specify the G90.1 or G91.1 (as appropriate).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Forum Search Broken?

Hi Guys,

This forum is currently undergoing a re-think on layout, content, etc.  http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,38649.0.html

Some functions (such as search and link re-directs, etc.) may be a little cranky until it is all sorted

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 errors Art Code 3336 and 8877

Hi,

The forum's Search facility is currently off-line.

Unfortunately, forum support for the CNC 6040Z is wearing a bit thin at the moment…

(1)   The CNC 6040Z software plugin does not support all of the Mach3 functions correctly and the Chinese originators fail to support their product with updates.
(2)   The CNC 6040Z USB software disc also includes a Pirate Mach3 license.

Just an observation but I assume we are talking about speeds of mm / min. and not mm / sec.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: inputs and probes

Hi Ray,

The ESS documentation, including setting up a probe with Mach4 is here;  https://www.warp9td.com/index.php/gettingstarted/setting-up-the-smoothstepper-and-mach4#EssProbing

(Although reading all the Warp9 and ESS documentation is bit of a bore it pays to skip through as much of it as you can looking for things current of interest).
