Hi Pat77,

Welcome to the forum.

It looks like you are describing a file extension issue. When loading Gcode files select Files of Type  All Files(*.*) then all files will be visible.

Btw I posted a thread a few days ago in general, but it's still awaiting approval. How long does it usually take to get posts approved? https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=44396.0

Hi Superuserg,

Welcome to the forum.
Your original post has now been approved (It usually takes a day or two to release any posts that get caught up in the forum's 'anti-spam' system).

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Re: How do you make the Newfangled Addons in mach3 with what software

« on: February 16, 2021, 01:04:03 AM »

Good day I have a license and was not able to use this function today. Where do you get a license from ? is it separate from the Mach 3 license?
Thanks

The Newfangled Mill Wizards require a seperate license from Mach3.
Details are here; https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3-addons-for-mill/

Perhaps check that the Live (Hot) wire is connected to the correct pin in your outlet that pops the breaker.

Thanks for the reply i wil change the kable from the E stop

Use good quality shielded cable with the shield connected to Earth at the controller end only.

This issue can be caused by electrical noise picked up on your inputs wiring (limit switches, estop, etc.). Do a forum search for electrical noise and you should find some info on; earthing, cable shielding, line filters, VFD noise, etc.

Is this the correct cable to go from on of those ETH controllers to the gecko?

Yes but check - the required connection for the ESS and UC400ETH series 2 is per the attached diagram.

Looks like you have Mach4 under control so why would you need to use Mach3 ?

Hi Elemental,

Welcome to the forum. Just post any questions you may have, as a New Topic in the General Mach Discussion section.

There is a lot of useful info about coordinates in the .pdf here;  https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=33595.0

If you haven’t tried already a suitably rated EMI Line Filter (quite cheap on the bay) often helps kerb VFD noise issues.
