Unfortunately Mach3 will not operate correctly using a Laptop with a Parallel Port - you need to be using a PC with Parallel Port or a Laptop with motion controller.

Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Re: USB switched SSR.

« on: June 22, 2020, 10:14:14 AM »

There is no software involved – the SSR is operated by the PC's USB 5 Volt supply.

This one was used when my home network started to be attacked (in the early hours of the morning). I decided, rather than leave it running 24/7, I would send it to sleep from midnight till 6am. Although the NAS would go into standby when the server went to sleep the cooling fans continued running. This device switches off the NAS completely during the server sleep period.

Another is used to switch my UC400ETH external motion controller PSU on and off with the CNC machine PC.

And as said I just keep finding uses.

Hi John,

Thanks for changing the Medium privileges – now I can continue reading how you used an op-amp in the multi-axis servo fault detection. 

Also, thank you for sharing your experiences with us as I am sure they will help and inspire others who may be considering a servo CNC conversion.

The "Hide My IP"  program picks a new IP address at random so I can log in here.  It works fine... as I am here posting?

It looks like you have solved the problem then. 

According to the SMF they have updated the Version your using here several times in the past month.

This is incorrect - Our forum is still using SMF 2.0.15 (it has not been updated).

If it has other IP addresses blocked like mine, they will never get back on. 

This is incorrect – We can block any IP address and We can also un-block any IP address as far as access to the forum is concerned.

Hi John,

You need to change your Medium privileges so that it is not a 'Members-only Account' or find another platform for publishing your conversion process.

To require readers / followers to sign-up for an account (free or not) is not acceptable.
