Just out of curiosity, what make and type of switch are you using for the Z axis ?

General Mach Discussion / Re: weird problem

« on: November 09, 2013, 03:35:42 AM »

does anyone else have this problem

Not exactly, but when I start Mach3 - if I cannot cancel 'Reset' by using the keyboard ' key and have to use the mouse click on the button instead there is a high chance of problems so if this happens I now do a restart (infrequent event though).

It's all down to the 'weird and wonderful' Microsoft OS

Quite right Rich, I am last in line.

This is the new kid on the block. At just 7 weeks old he doesn't know too much about CNC yet but given half the chance I am sure he would be pleased to re-arrange my wiring layout.

Hi Sean,

Welcome to the forum.

I am sure you have already done this but you need to correctly install and enable the plugin as per details here http://cncdrive.com/MC/UC100%20datasheet/UC100%20users%20guide.pdf

Within Mach3;  Config / Config Plugins  check that it is enabled.

If you download and run Parmon http://www.geekhideout.com/parmon.shtml this will show the state of the parallel port pins.

Excellent build quality Gary - my congratulations on your work.
