Thanks for explaining it all Rich.

As said, I really didn’t know just why I have this obsession but it is all starting to make sense now.

My wife says that "all men should be put onto ‘Prozac’ (Fluoxetine) from the time they come off Mother’s milk" – perhaps this is where I went wrong.

I don’t know why but I seem to have developed an obsession with Jukeboxes (a second childhood perhaps ?). I already have a 100 selection vinyl, a 2000+ selection CD and a 10,000+ selection all electronic type but I just can’t help myself and have started to build yet another.
This one will be housed in a wall-hanging cabinet constructed of 18mm and 22mm birch ply and before it is all finally glued together I have started CNC routing all the various cut-outs. The front door (housing a touch screen) opens on three concealed cabinet hinges and it took a couple of practice runs to get the hinge positional cut-outs just right. It will contain a small 3+1 amplifier and speakers but will also have an output to a power amp (if required). I have just completed some of the speaker grills which were cut from aluminium faced traffolyte (engraving laminate) and thought I should post a couple of pictures as the project progressed.

I notice you are using an old version of the ESS plugin. It may be worth heading over to the Warp9 site to download their latest version and also check that you are running the recommended version of Mach4.
Perhaps download and run their latest SCU – I have found that it makes the setting-up just so easy.

JAMEN Technology is another manufacturer / vendor who can be added to our list.
The Mach3 Setup software, supplied with their JNC-40M motion controller, automatically installs a well known Pirate License.
The JNC-40M motion controller (and it’s setup software) is supplied with a number of different machines including the SKYFIRE SVM-1.

I am not sure it will work but it's certainly worth hooking it all up and seeing if you are able to get motion.

Will Mach3 work to drive my machine?

As long as your machine controller accepts Step and Direction signals then I see no reason why not - Mach3 can drive up to 6 axes.

It depends how many Inputs and Outputs you need to control your machine but you may not need the second PCI card.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 crashes using LPT but not USB

« on: July 01, 2016, 07:58:45 AM »

I was wondering what the recommended settings were for the LPT port? e.g ECP, EPP using an interrupt or not?

I think it's a matter of if it works then it works.
