General Mach Discussion / Re: After install newer mach3 version stuttering movement

« on: July 25, 2015, 03:32:35 AM »

I suspect the problem lies with the Leafboy as it's USB / driver software has been tailored to the earlier versions of Mach3. Their website says it is suitable for use with Mach3 R3,043.066 and it may be worth downloading their latest plugin and seeing if it makes any difference.  http://leafboy77.com/index.php/en/home/16-english-categories/mach3/usb-motion/card-akz250/1-mach3-usb-motion-card-akz250

It may also be worth contacting the manufacturers and asking the question.

Hi Scipio,

Welcome to the forum.

My best advice would be to stick with Mach3, purchasing a license after you are satisfied that it meets all your needs.

(I have been using Mach2 / Mach3  for 12 Years now and although I have Mach4 I am still using Mach3)

Just post any future questions you may have as a New Topic in the General section.

Hi Fred,

This type of problem is generally associated with the pickup of electrical noise on inputs wiring.
Try increasing the Debounce Interval to 2000 or so (Config / General Config page). If this improves the situation then check that all your inputs wiring (e-stop, limit, home, switches etc.) are properly screened and earthed.

« on: July 23, 2015, 08:03:50 AM »

Hi Carlos,

Your board may be bent but this problem is usually associated with the machine's table not being flat and true with the machine's motion.

It is usual to fit a 'spoil-board' to the machine table then 'surface' this board (with a reasonably large diameter cutter) to make it flat and true with the machine's motion. Thereafter your PCB's will have equal depth of engrave over the whole surface.

give it a year.........

I bought my license last August, so I already have. And that's what I said last year, but today, imo, it's not much closer now than it was then.

I am starting to think it will be a few years, if ever, before I will be using Mach4.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle wont turn back on.

« on: July 23, 2015, 07:43:22 AM »

I am presuming the spindle is started with an M3 command at the beginning of the Gcode. If you stop and then re-start the program run you need to click on the Spindle button (or use F5, or other methods etc.) and allow the spindle to run-up to speed before clicking on Start.
