FAQs / Re: Windows 7 and Mach 3

« on: December 14, 2016, 02:15:19 AM »

Just a couple of things to try...

Check that the Mach3 port#1 address matches that shown in Windows Device Manager for the LPT port. Also check that it is enabled in Mach3.
Run DriverTest.exe (Mach3 folder) just to make sure that the drivers are loaded ok.

Download Mach3 from the NFS Artsoft website http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/ and install on your new computer (The preferred version is R3.043.062 which can be obtained from the Mach3 folder in the ftp downloads area).

From the Mach3 folder of your old computer...
Copy the <your profile>.xml file (which contains all your Mach3 settings).
Copy the Mach1Lic.dat file (which is your license).
Copy both these files into the Mach3 folder of your new computer.

If you have any special Screens, Macro's or Brains then copy these from your old computer to the appropriate folder on your new computer.

I experience exactly the same issue - sorry but I am not aware of any resolution to the problem.

You could perhaps try resetting your DNS Server.

General Mach Discussion / Re: 4th axis question

« on: December 06, 2016, 01:57:30 AM »

Assuming your laser has a 4 axis Leetro controller then you just need to add a single axis bipolar driver (and perhaps suitable PSU to cater for the extra 3.5 amps) to connect your new rotary axis. You also need to check that your laser software supports using a rotary axis.
