Mach4 General Discussion / Re: MACH4 with ESS G73 not working correctly

G73 seems to be working OK for me.
Could you perhaps .zip and attach your problem Gcode file then we may be able to discover where the problem lies.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Slaving Y axis with B Axis

« on: October 16, 2020, 08:25:51 AM »

what would you say is the difference between Mach3 and Mach4?  Worth it to move to mach4?

Mach3 has been around for a long time now and it became difficult for the software engineers to incorporate improvements so Mach4 was born. Mach4 is new from the ground up and can offer so many more refinements of screen design and customization of use.
Having said that I have both Mach3 and Mach4 - I only occasionally use Mach4 as Mach3 is still used for all production work (at least until covid created a lock-down and closed my workshop facility). I think I am now looking towards retirement so perhaps I will never use Mach4 for anything except testing & experimentation. If, on the other hand, you have great CNC plans for the future then forget Mach3 and look towards Mach4 which is the future.

I think you should ignore the cheap Chinese controllers (which have no customer support) and choose one of the EU or USA manufactured products such as the Warp9 ESS or the CNC Drive UC300E or the Pokeys 57CNC, etc.

Please bear in mind that Mach3 in now obsolescent and no longer supported having been superceeded by Mach4.
The motion controllers I have mentioned will operate with Mach3 also operate with Mach4 if you ever need to change at some time in the future.

I use (on different machines) the ESS, 57CNC and UC400ETH controllers, each have their own merrits but they all support slave axis operation with Mach3 (and Mach4).

Perhaps check out the websites of the controllers I have mentioned and also browse the forum a little before making any decision.
