I suspect it all starts OK then ends with "...sorry love, I can't talk right now, I'm in the middle of... oh bugger".

Hi Matt,

I am pleased you got the Leafboy sorted.

I can't offer any advice for your VFD / Spindle problem - perhaps someone else who has had experience of this type of setup will chime in.

Matt,

Assuming you have put the UsbMove.dll in the plugings folder then on Mach3 restart - select the Xulifeng motion controller then you should be OK.

(full instructions are contained in the manual which can be downloaded from here http://leafboy77.com/index.php/en/articles/16-mach3/usb-motion/card-akz250/1-mach3-usb-motion-card-akz250)

There is a history of problems with the video window and running extremely long GCode files and I think it is probably more to do with the PC’s video card than it is to do with processor speed. However, turning off the video window (Diagnostics / Toolpath on/off) seems to cure the problem others have found.

I think it is a brilliant suggestion Eforer and it could become a very useful plugin for Mach3.

Share Your GCode / Re: I Need A help

Hi Sa,

Very few people actually write their own GCode nowadays although someone may rise to the challenge.

Perhaps best if you draw your part in CAD/CAM (plenty of free versions available) then use it’s post-processor to create the GCode.
