General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 problems with axis

« on: February 06, 2020, 02:01:34 AM »

Mach3 saves your previous settings (contained in the xmlbackups folder).

Within Mach3 select Operator / Restore Settings... and choose a backup from a date before you altered your settings and caused the problem.

General Mach Discussion / Re: mach3 lathe teach

« on: February 06, 2020, 01:47:27 AM »

Hi Fred,

There is a lot of learning to do but it is not complicated stuff and can be fun.

Download the document;  https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Mach2_6.11_Custom.pdf
Section 3 explains how to use a Screen Designer.

Load your lathe screen and add the 2 buttons (Teach ON / Teach OFF  - both would be Execute VB Script buttons). The VB Script for the buttons would be as follows;

For the ON button;

OpenTeachFile”MDITeach.tap”

For the OFF button;

CloseTeachFile

Save your changes and that’s about it.

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.

Can we make a list of pirated licensees
If you remember, i pulled pirated licensees straight from Mach3.exe

It was discussed with Artsoft some while back and decided that it would not be a good idea.

Show"N"Tell ( What you have made with your CNC machine.) / Re: Cycloid Reducer.

« on: February 02, 2020, 01:54:04 AM »

Hi Russ,

I am sure it would make a great project and I am sure it will be fun.

Cycloid reducers are easy and cheap to make so they are generally the choice for the industrial robot arm joints. Lots of them about but not often seen perhaps.

I did make a video of this one running only to discover that Win10 does not support old DV camcorders. However, not to be beaten…
Paul still has a WinXP setup so he used a dashcam or phone to put a very short (poor quality) video onto an SD card which he then used with Windows Movie Maker and uploaded the result to his YouTube a/c.   https://youtu.be/u3Mh1E4GgHE     it's only a few seconds so don't blink or you'll miss it
