The cabinet has now been sprayed and the acrylic panel fitted to the front door.
Next job is to fit the touch screen and make a  start on connecting up the electrics.

FAQs / Re: Laptop requirements with Mach 3

« on: July 22, 2016, 07:28:55 AM »

I just bought this laptop http://www.laptopoutlet.co.uk/lenovo-ideapad-305-green-15-6-core-i3-laptop-intel-5005u-8gb-ram-1tb-win-45.html and can anyone explain is it well enough to run Mach 3 or should I replace my laptop???

Looks like a good deal to me - now you need to decide on which external motion controller you are going to use.

I think it's OEM Code 818 for the feedrate DRO but it could be OEM Code 97 which is the CV feedrate DRO.

There are others like...
104 rapid feedrate.
122 feedrate ignoring F word.
etc.

Sort of, but you would display the result in a new DRO not on a button.

I have a friend that is a computer geek and he thinks that a business laptop with a docking station that has a docking station and has a parallel port will work.

Why not just try it and see ??
