Hi Ted,

Welcome.

Sorry to hear of your experience with the Mach3 pirates.

Not wishing to add to your woe's but do you have a genuine version of the UC100 ?  (if, for example it is in a metal casing then it is fake).

I am pleased you found the problem.

(Perhaps consider fitting a new Graphics card with 1GB or more memory).

If you look in your Mach3 / Bitmaps folder - the folder MillBitmaps contains all the images necessary for the standard screen 1024.set. When using any screen editor it has to be run from a location that can access both the screen and it's associated bitmaps folder otherwise, as you have found, images are missing from the editor screen.

I still use the old original editor but Klaus has produced a much improved editor together with instructional notes and video's on it's use;  http://www.kd-dietz.com/klausphp/pages/eng/machscreen/description/ms_description.html

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

Does Mach3 run without the erratic motion if you disconnect the pendant ?

Are you using Mach3 version R3.043.062 ?

Have you made any recent changes to your machine, ESS or computer setup ?

The downloaded Coil winder folder only contains one bitmap (a .jpg file) but if you modify the screen for your own purposes then that is where the image bitmaps are stored.

I modified the coil winder screen a while back for a guitar string winder and this thread refers;   http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,28721.msg201561.html#msg201561

Hi Raychar,

I don't know if this applies but...

1) Do not run Gcode from a thumb drive, always download the Gcode to the hard drive.
2) Always remove the thumb drive before running the Gcode.

Hi Craig,

I did exactly what you said.

Hi Tweakie,

Unfortunately, there is no bitmap folder (inside attachment/zip files).


Faith.

The downloaded folder 'Coil winder' should be added to your Mach3 bitmaps folder.
