Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 Printer Port Discussions

Hi Guys:

  This is version 2071 of Darwin, ( I will make darwins version number equal to the Mach4 version numbers..)

No need to upgrade unless you need to, this one reportedly reapres a few license issues, will accept .txt as well for
licenses, and can load plugins from the about menu..

Hi Art,

You missed adding the attachment.

Hi Zann,

The version shown on my website works ‘as is’ without the additional switch panel (which was added later to enable extra menu items selection).

As mentioned above by Daniel, the Arduino based design by Art may be a much easier project for controlling your J48 – I am certainly following it with great interest and hope to get it working with my CO2 laser in the not too distant future.

Hi Chris,

Nice to see you'r back here again.
We have missed seeing the pictures of all your wonderful creations, now it looks like some great stuff will be produced with that new axis.

Hi Jmccann,

Welcome to the forum.

If you copy your .xml file (from the Mach3 folder) which has the same name as your profile (bottom right of Mach3 screen) – rename it to something unique (such as jmccann.xml) then attach it to your reply (using Additional Options...) I will take a look at your settings and see if I can spot a problem with your setup.

Hi Eric,

I sympathise 

I had already made the mistake of installing build 2059 thinking that the Darwin license issue would have been resolved, unfortunately not

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Impact engraving plugin

« on: October 28, 2014, 03:18:54 AM »

Hi Enphecktor,

Unfortunately, because of the way in which the plugin works it cannot be used with the ESS board.

For vector laser engraving you may wish to give this method a try ??   http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.msg194200.html#msg194200

I am not sure which revision of Mach3 you are referring to - the latest version appears to be R3.043.066

General Mach Discussion / Re: Spindle stops rotating durring program run

From memory the X3 spindle controller has an overload sensor which does shut it down - perhaps, in your case, it is being a little over sensitive ?
